Mutant Tuxedo

Haute Couture outfit’s secrets : the mutant tuxedo for woman

Julien Fournié Haute Couture is known for its sharp lines.
It was with an explosive Apple Pencil that this look popped into my head, late one night on my couch.

No matter how much you want to invent something new every season, you end up getting caught up in your obsessions. Marked waist, round shoulder, but architectural, like Claude Montana – one of my daddy in the Haute Couture -, small and whalebone bust, anatomical collar cut and rounded and elongated basques, for a silhouette finally drawn to the line.

Plunging neckline mystery maintained

Zero compromise, we will seek the material fetish of Monsieur Saint Laurent, a grain of powder 100% wool. Its mattness will contrast with the shine of the collar in silk leather satin.

Everything for a final construction of the least expected, namely a plunging neckline mystery maintained, as if by magic, by tulle illusion. “You don’t wear this tuxedo”, as a customer who has already adopted it would say, “it’s the tuxedo that wears you”.

A mutant tuxedo for woman

I know, it’s not a jacket, nor a dress, nor a top. It’s a mutant tuxedo for woman that you can only put on if you know its secret…

Haute Couture is about balancing things: neither too much nor too little. It is with a lurex and viscose jacquard leggings, developed by the prestigious house Gigou, that this tuxedo for women worn by Patricia Semon will reveal all its character on the catwalk.

The woman who wears such a tuxedo needs freedom, no fuss, just the Premier Space bag under the arm, adorned with the house monogram on a mirrored canvas.
This mirror canvas is a very new tech material developed in France, screen printed with the signature design of the house that I created.

From another universe

The Hexagon monogram comes from a reflection on infinity. I started from the motif created by nature, namely the beehives. A view like the inside of a diving suit from another universe. From the suit we can discover: the planets aligning, the sun rising and the black of space to infinity.

The accessory goes for this mutant tuxedo.

A mutant tuxedo for women that is already one of my signatures.
