About Julien Fournié Haute Couture

More than a fashion brand, Maison Julien Fournié is a luxury experience that transcends trends and seasons. With a commitment to excellence and innovation, Julien Fournié continues to redefine the world of ultra-luxury.

Julien Fournié is a celebrated haute couture designer renowned for his audacious and visionary approach. His work marries a deep respect for traditional, artisanal techniques with the revolutionary potential of modern technology, creating garments that are as timeless as they are pioneering. Every piece he designs is not merely a garment, but a meticulously crafted work of art that speaks to a legacy of skilled craftsmanship and an unwavering embrace of innovation.

His creative process is a dynamic dialogue between the tactile and the abstract. In his atelier, the age-old traditions of couture converge with futuristic tools to sculpt unique silhouettes that perfectly honor and enhance the female form. Through his dedication to bespoke design, Fournié transforms fabric into a canvas of structured elegance and expressive detail, challenging the boundaries of conventional fashion while celebrating individuality.

By harmonizing the heritage of haute couture with forward-thinking design, Julien Fournié continuously redefines what luxury means in the modern era. His collections stand as bold statements of personal expression, where every stitch, drape, and contour is imbued with passion and purpose. In his hands, fashion becomes a transformative experience—a fusion of art, technology, and tradition destined to leave a lasting impression on both wearer and onlooker.

Julien Fournié was founded in 2009.

The history of the house is reflected in its haute couture collections, which are presented in Paris every January and July during Haute Couture Week.

For his first collection, the young couturier was awarded the Grand Prize for Creativity by the City of Paris in January 2010.

For his fourth collection, in January 2011, Julien Fournié became a “guest member” of the official calendar of the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture catwalk shows. This was the first step towards recognizing Julien Fournié as a promising new brand in the circle of the great couturiers.

In January 2017, the Julien Fournié house was officially classified as “Haute Couture”. This label, protected by the French Ministry of Industry, is awarded to a few houses (only ten prestigious Haute Couture houses are currently on this list) that combine the best creativity in design and the highest quality in garment making.

Since its inception, Julien Fournié has also had the honor of being invited to show its collections at prestigious events abroad, in order to bring the couturier’s style to luxury clients from all over the world.

In March 2023, a Julien Fournié dress, worn by the actress Audrey Fleurot, entered the Grévin Museum in Paris.

In April 2023, the first retrospective of Julien Fournié’s work will be held at SCAD Lacoste in an exhibition entitled “Haute Couture un point c’est tout”.

While respecting tradition, Julien Fournié has also forged new partnerships with high-tech giants such as Apple and Tencent.

Julien Fournié has thus been able to digitize the creation, design and personalization of his haute couture pieces. He is one of the few haute couture designers to master the new digital tools.

Long regarded as a survivor of a bygone era, the haute couture market has experienced a new boom in recent years. Thanks to new technologies, Julien Fournié has been able to establish direct and unique means of communication with his clients. It is no longer a question of sending a sketch to the client for approval, as was the case in the past.

Julien Fournié has introduced a new process in which clients are no longer mere spectators of the creative process. They have become actors in the unique experience of creating a garment wherever they are.

Since December 2020, Julien Fournié has been developing a line of luxury bags and accessories. Initially, the idea was to offer handbags that could be seen in Julien Fournié shows and were previously reserved for haute couture customers.
