Haute Couture Houses : Julien Fournié

Founded in 2009, Maison Julien Fournié is one of only ten houses in the world to have been awarded the Haute Couture label, a prestigious distinction that underlines its commitment to craftsmanship and made-to-measure.

Julien Fournié stands out for its on-demand production, with no stocks to minimize waste. The company favors natural materials and craftsmanship, contributing to a sustainable approach that respects the environment. True Haute Couture, as interpreted by Julien Fournié and as it should be practiced by Haute Couture houses, preserves and shapes the intelligence of the hand and the mind, combining tradition and innovation to create unique, timeless pieces.

The term Haute Couture is defined by the meticulous creative process, which involves several stages, from conception to realization. Each dress is the fruit of in-depth craftsmanship, where every detail is carefully thought out and executed. As with all true Haute Couture houses, Julien Fournié focuses on quality and exclusivity, offering its customers garments that are not just fashion items, but works of art.

The history of the house is reflected in his collections unveiled in Paris, in January and July each year, during Haute Couture Week.

In January 2017, the Julien Fournié House was officially classified as “Haute Couture”. The Haute Couture label, protected by the French Ministry of Industry, is given to a few houses (only ten prestigious haute couture houses on this list today) which are combining the best of creativity in design and the utmost quality in garment making. Julien Fournié was thus able to digitize the creation, design and personalization of his Haute Couture pieces. He is one of the rare designers of Haute Couture to master the new digital tools.

Long considered as a survivor of a bygone era, the Haute Couture market has experienced a new boom in recent years. Julien Fournié has been able to establish direct and unique means of communication with his clients thanks to new technologies. It is no longer a question of sending Haute Couture clients a sketch to be validated, as was done in the past.

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 Haute Couture 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.

Recently, Maison Julien Fournié was in the spotlight when one of its creations was worn by Mezzo singer Marina Viotti at a concert following the Grand Parade of Olympic and Paralympic athletes. In addition, the current collection, entitled “Last Queen”, features pieces inspired by the beauty and complexity of flowers, with a tulle underskirt composed of 800 meters of fabric, testifying to the house’s creativity and savoir-faire.

With a particular focus on the environment, Julien Fournié favors the use of natural, handcrafted materials. This means that not only are you choosing unparalleled style, but you’re also contributing to more sustainable fashion.

Unique style for every occasion

Whether for a gala, a wedding or a special evening, Julien Fournié dresses are designed to turn heads. Imagine yourself in a delicate tulle gown, like the “Last Queen” collection, where every layer of fabric dances with you, creating a stunning visual effect.
