The secrets of the Trompe-l’œil Haute Couture dress from the First Shield collection
Transforming, innovating, unraveling mysteries, finding the right proportions-that’s what Haute Couture is all about. And that’s what fittings are for.
Camille Tanne, this season’s newcomer, has delicious copper legs that we just want to show off.
The Haute Couture dress she’s to present in a few days’ time, for the Haute Couture First Shield show, imagined ankle-length, in Laser Game green lurex changing to purple, like Kryptonite, Superman’s mortal danger, is in fact a trompe-l’oeil with a chasuble parachute dress over it in double Purple silk organza.
This umbrella-cut parachute Haute Couture dress elongates the silhouette with its half-round skittles. On paper, this dress looked sublime when I designed it. In reality, this length is absolutely unflattering in these lines. During fittings, it just doesn’t work!
Crisis cell in the atelier. It’s always tricky to explain to a team, who have finalized a dress strictly according to my instructions, that the result isn’t up to my dreams.
But my team is also very critical. Everyone agrees that the length isn’t right. It’s too long,” I conclude. So we cut below the knee.
This time, everything falls into place. The words come thick and fast: “baby doll”, “porcelain doll”, “little ballerina”, “prima ballerina”, a very Parisian Haute Couture dress indeed. The body-hugging cut reveals an organic volume that moves perfectly.
The snap hooks that suspend the dress, along with the Kryptonite Premier Bag worn cross-body, add contemporary flair to this silhouette.
A youthful haute couture dress
Moisturized, naturally worked hair is pulled back, by Jack Merrick Thirlway of Salon Neville, to sublimate Camille’s feline face.
Make-up by Nicolas Degennes loads her cat eyes with mascara, and her red mouth is the perfect complement to her veil dress.
For her first steps on a catwalk, Camille Tanne finally managed to sublimate this Haute Couture dress with its youthful allure.

Maison Julien Fournié is more than a fashion brand, it’s a luxury experience that transcends trends and seasons. With its commitment to excellence and innovation, Julien Fournié continues to redefine the world of Haute Couture and luxury.
Founded in 2009 by Julien Fournié, Maison Julien Fournié creates custom-made haute couture garments for its clients.

He creates Haute Couture wedding dresses, Haute Couture evening dresses, Haute Couture tuxedo, Haute Couture ceremony dresses, Haute Couture gown… He is able to cater to this particularly demanding clientele in terms of creativity, quality and service to create Haute Couture outfits.
Julien Fournié’s creations are intended for a very high-end clientele. Theses clients seek the uniqueness of the garment. They want a personalized service and a privileged relationship with the couturier.
Julien Fournié has become a “guest member” in the official calendar of Haute Couture runway shows in 2011. This marked a first step in aknowledging Julien Fournié as a promising new brand in the circle of grand couturiers.
Since January 2017, following the sponsorship of the Chambre Syndicale, the French Ministry of Industry has granted Julien Fournié the Haute Couture label. This means that the Julien Fournié fashion house has joined an exclusive club of only sixteen names in the ultra-luxury world.
While respecting the tradition of Haute Couture, Julien Fournié has also forged new partnerships with high-tech giants such as Dassault Systèmes Apple and Tencent.
Julien Fournié was thus able to digitize the creation, design and personalization of his dresses. He is one of the rare designers of Haute Couture to master the new digital tools. Julien Fournié has introduced a new process in which clients are not just 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. At first, the idea was to offer handbags seen in Julien Fournié Haute Couture shows and reserved, until then, for Haute Couture clients.
Since then, Julien Fournié has created new luxury bags ranging from evening clutches to tote bags and handbags becoming one of the most exclusive luxury handbags brands.
For the time being, these new luxury bags, Monogrammed bags and totes, clutches are exclusively available on the online boutique of the House.
In 2022, Julien Fournié has launched few pieces of jewelry sold on his online store.
