For Vogue’s prestigious Force of Fashion event, Chinese actress Li Qin 李沁 made a striking appearance in a custom creation by Julien Fournié Haute Couture. Embodying the Maison’s signature blend of architectural elegance and cinematic allure, the ensemble highlighted Li Qin’s ethereal presence and modern grace.
The editorial styling for the photoshoot was curated by Rain Lu, whose refined vision brought out the dramatic contrasts and poetic textures of the look. Together, the styling and couture created a visual narrative that echoed Julien Fournié’s commitment to storytelling through fashion—where each silhouette becomes a character, and each detail an emotion.
A haute Couture dress from the First Circus collection for Li Qin
Actress Li Qin 李沁 lit up the event in a sumptuous black wool crepe sheath gown, inspired by the refined lines of the 1940s. This silhouette, both timeless and daring, stood out with a spectacular anatomical cut, accentuated by a cascade of nude sequin–embroidered organza that flowed into a shower of sparkling crystals.
To complete this mysterious yet magnetic allure, the look was accessorized with an Ex Voto brooch designed by Julien Fournié himself: a sculptural jewel in gunmetal, set with black crystal, adding a dramatic and symbolic touch to the ensemble.
This creation belongs to the Haute Couture “First Circus” collection, where theatrical imagination and extravagance merge with artisanal excellence. First presented on the runway by model Elza Matiz, the gown embodies Julien Fournié’s art: transforming every silhouette into the heroine of a couture narrative, poised between power and poetry.

More than a fashion brand, Maison Julien Fournié is a luxury experience that transcends trends and seasons. Driven by a commitment to excellence and innovation, Julien Fournié continuously redefines the world of ultra-luxury.
Founded in 2009, the house’s history is woven into its haute couture collections, presented in Paris every January and July during Haute Couture Week. For his debut collection, the young couturier was awarded the Grand Prize for Creativity by the City of Paris in January 2010. By his fourth collection in January 2011, Julien Fournié became a guest member of the official calendar of the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture — a first step towards recognition among the great couturiers.
In January 2017, Maison Julien Fournié was officially classified as Haute Couture. This prestigious label, protected by the French Ministry of Industry, is held by only a handful of houses — currently ten — that unite the highest creativity in design with the finest standards of garment making.
Since its inception, the house has been invited to present its collections at prestigious events worldwide, bringing the couturier’s vision to luxury clients across the globe. In March 2023, a Julien Fournié gown worn by actress Audrey Fleurot entered the Musée Grévin in Paris. In April 2023, the first retrospective of Julien Fournié’s work was held at SCAD Lacoste, in an exhibition entitled Haute Couture, un point c’est tout.
While honouring tradition, Julien Fournié has forged bold partnerships with high-tech leaders such as Apple and Tencent, digitising the creation, design and personalisation of his haute couture pieces. He stands among the rare couturiers to fully master the new digital tools. Clients are no longer mere spectators of the creative process — they have become active participants in the singular experience of creating a garment, wherever they may be.
Since December 2020, Julien Fournié has been developing a line of luxury bags and accessories, initially conceived to offer the iconic pieces seen on the runway — previously reserved for haute couture clients — to a wider audience.
