Zhang Ruonan in Julien Fournié Haute Couture for GRAZIA China
Actress Zhang Ruonan (章若楠) appears in Julien Fournié Haute Couture in the October 2026 issue of GRAZIA China (红秀GRAZIA).
The look: the Alabaster Bride from the First Misfits collection
She wears the Alabaster Bride look from the First Misfits Haute Couture collection (Spring-Summer 2026). It combines a twisted wrap blouse with an undone collar in triple white silk organza, a sheath skirt in Mystère white organza embroidered with a cascade of crystals, and a “No Limit” train basque finished with a giant bow, also in Mystère white organza embroidered with a cascade of crystals.
On the runway, the look was paired with the Aquatique tiara and a bra in statuary Carrara marble lace, carved and polished by hand by sculptor André Tognotti. For GRAZIA China, the piece takes on a new face: stripped of its sculpted elements, it reveals the full lightness of the organza and the sparkle of the crystal embroideries.
The shoot plays on a striking contrast between the calm softness the actress radiates and the graphic tension of the garment. Her natural, almost nonchalant ease answers the architectural rigour of the train and the bow. The images are remarkably expressive.
With First Misfits, Julien Fournié champions a Haute Couture that refuses uniformity. The Alabaster Bride is one of its boldest expressions: a bride in white, but anything but demure. Discover the Maison’s Haute Couture wedding dresses.
Founded in 2009, Julien Fournié is a Paris Haute Couture house, holder of the official Haute Couture appellation since 2017. Each piece is made to measure in its Paris atelier.

More than a fashion brand, Maison Julien Fournié is a luxury experience that transcends trends and seasons. Driven by a commitment to excellence and innovation, Julien Fournié continuously redefines the world of ultra-luxury.
Founded in 2009, the house’s history is woven into its haute couture collections, presented in Paris every January and July during Haute Couture Week. For his debut collection, the young couturier was awarded the Grand Prize for Creativity by the City of Paris in January 2010. By his fourth collection in January 2011, Julien Fournié became a guest member of the official calendar of the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture — a first step towards recognition among the great couturiers.
In January 2017, Maison Julien Fournié was officially classified as Haute Couture. This prestigious label, protected by the French Ministry of Industry, is held by only a handful of houses — currently ten — that unite the highest creativity in design with the finest standards of garment making.
Since its inception, the house has been invited to present its collections at prestigious events worldwide, bringing the couturier’s vision to luxury clients across the globe. In March 2023, a Julien Fournié gown worn by actress Audrey Fleurot entered the Musée Grévin in Paris. In April 2023, the first retrospective of Julien Fournié’s work was held at SCAD Lacoste, in an exhibition entitled Haute Couture, un point c’est tout.
While honouring tradition, Julien Fournié has forged bold partnerships with high-tech leaders such as Apple and Tencent, digitising the creation, design and personalisation of his haute couture pieces. He stands among the rare couturiers to fully master the new digital tools. Clients are no longer mere spectators of the creative process — they have become active participants in the singular experience of creating a garment, wherever they may be.
Since December 2020, Julien Fournié has been developing a line of luxury bags and accessories, initially conceived to offer the iconic pieces seen on the runway — previously reserved for haute couture clients — to a wider audience.
