Haute Couture outfit’s secrets : the Haute Couture jacket of Nausicaa, Captain Harlock’s hidden love
Si In Kim landed one morning in our workshop from outer space. This tall doll of one meter eighty, straight from Korea, came directly from a manga that a whole generation knew well: Captain Harlock.
Her long blond-platinum hair, her slender figure, her masculine allure were the quintessence of Nausicaa, Captain Harlock’s hidden love.
“Quick Jacqueline, bring me the gunmetal lurex jacquard with a midnight blue silk bourrette effect that Sfate et Combier has developed exclusively for us.
A trompe-l’oeil jacket
We are going to create a trompe-l’oeil jacket, with a manta ray cut. It will have an angled tailor sleeve and abyssal cut Basques. We’re going to inlay a satin leather collar with a matte finish to emphasize the cut-out.
Jacqueline then asks me, “How do you close it?
To have such a legible line, we couldn’t use a front-middle closure.
“We’ll use a middle-back zipper,” I answer.
Jacqueline writes “but it’s not a jacket anymore!
“Dear Jacqueline, I remind you that Haute Couture is the art of transforming, creating and inventing, it will be a mutant jacket, innovative, like the entire collection.
It will be enough thereafter to sheath the legs of this Sylvidre in a cigarette pants with black sequins.
Mini gloves in perforated leather will bring a rock side.
Arcadia, the new Premier handbag
It is on this look that I want to launch the new Premier bag in grained calf, entirely studded, that I named Arcadia which is none other than the name of Captain Harlock’s ship.
Nicolas just had to add a starlight on his forehead to give it all its splendor.
As for Jack, all he had to do was smooth out his gorgeous platinum mane.
Nonchalance
She was my childhood memories, my obsessions and my scares from back then.
Her nonchalance and lost look fascinated the audience, she was no longer a model, she was a character from Leiji Matsumoto‘s imagination.

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 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.
