The secrets of a Haute Couture gown: the mermaid dress from the First Light collection
Apart from the fact that Michaela is a supermodel, has an incredible IQ and will soon be a doctor, my friend, that she’s the face of the Julien Fournié Haute Couture fashion house, she’s a huge opera fan.
What could be better than an evening at the opera, in good company?
So yes, I’m always delighted when Michaela wears one of my creations.
Second-skin mermaid dress
This second-skin mermaid dress fits her like a glove. This Haute Couture dress in jersey and viscose lacquered with gunmetal-colored silver leaf, highlights her Hollywood curves.
This Haute Couture dress has a story. From the First Light collection, this mermaid dress is an allegory of one of my favorite films, Metropolis.
Highly architectural, this mermaid dress holds the secrets of Julien Fournié style: glove sleeves, large V trompe l’oeil décolleté in illusion tulle and cascading flat pleats that elongate the silhouette to no end.
Parisian freedom
In a few words, fluidity, elegance and Parisian freedom.
Thank you my Mika for highlighting this mermaid dress, a vintage classic from the Maison. Thanks to you, I’m discovering my work.
To be continued.
