\u201cSCAD FASH Lacoste is pleased to exhibit the work of designer Julien Fourni\u00e9 in a major exposition\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWelcoming students and the public, the museum celebrates the finest in haute couture. With bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s degree programs in fashion, jewelry, accessory design, and luxury and brand management, SCAD is known around the world as the international university for creative professions, with locations in the U.S. and France.\u201d<\/p>\nSCAD President and Founder Paula Wallace<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Fourni\u00e9 is celebrated for his masterful technique and artistry in the traditional French savoir-faire of haute couture. He was elected by his peers as an official member of the prestigious Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture in 2017 \u2014 an exclusive status granted to only 16 luxury brands throughout the world. Fourni\u00e9\u2019s thematic and fanciful collections, made to measure with precision in his Paris atelier, are composed of the finest materials, rendering elegant works of art that accentuate the female form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fourni\u00e9 is beloved by an international clientele for his passion, discipline, and innovative approach to design as art. Fourni\u00e9 embraces technology\u2019s fusion with fashion, often incorporating new digital techniques within the French haute couture tradition. As he expands his artistry into the metaverse, Fourni\u00e9 \u2014 the only haute couture designer to imagine the possibilities of the virtual realm \u2014 has established his place at the helm of the future of fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While pursuing a medical degree, Fourni\u00e9 developed an anatomical understanding of the body, a skill that informs his accomplishments as a fashion designer. Graduating from the Ecole de la Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne in 2000 with a master\u2019s degree in fashion design, Fourni\u00e9 joined the atelier of several haute couture houses including Christian Dior during the John Galliano era, Givenchy under Alexander McQueen, and eventually Jean Paul Gaultier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2003, Fourni\u00e9 was named creative director of Torrente Haute Couture. Fourni\u00e9 launched his eponymous label in 2009, instantly becoming one of the industry\u2019s most talented designers. Shortly thereafter, he received an invitation to become a guest member of the official Haute Couture calendar. Just a few years later, Fourni\u00e9 was elected as a permanent member of Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture, joining an elite cadre of the world\u2019s most notable fashion designers and luxury brands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cIt is a true honor to be in a museum in one\u2019s lifetime, and I am excited to share my pieces and magical textile constructions in a more intimate light than on the runway\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEach and every seam was made in our Paris atelier, and we are proud of the masterful needlework techniques used to create my collections. In collaboration with SCAD FASH Lacoste and creative director Rafael Gomes, this exhibition shows that Haute Couture still shines in the 21st century. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This exhibition on French soil will help share haute couture\u2019s core values and highlight the expertise of the world\u2019s best craftspeople who have been working with me over the past 14 years. I share this moment with all the women and men who have helped me build the House of Julien Fourni\u00e9.\u201d<\/p>\nJulien Fourni\u00e9<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
