Guest of honor at Vietnam International Fashion Week<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Julien Fourni\u00e9 will be the guest of honor at Vietnam International Fashion Week (VIFW) Spring-Summer 2025, in which 16 local and international designers will showcase their collections on the catwalk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not Julien Fourni\u00e9\u2019s first time in Vietnam. Vietnam International Fashion Week had already welcomed him in 2015, exactly 10 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab Since then ,\u00bb says the founder of this House now recognized as one of the 10 only official members of Haute Couture, \u00ab I have fine-tuned the techniques and know-hows specific to Haute Couture and I am constantly collaborating with the best craftsmen across the world. I am happy to come back to Vietnam International Fashion Week during the year when I am also celebrating my 50th birthday .\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Reaching the age of 50, Julien Fourni\u00e9 is now feeling completely free to reveal what has always been with him: enthusiasm, dreaming, dancing\u2026 In short, everything that has driven him and set him in motion since he was a child. In the house that bears his name and which he founded together with Jean-Paul Cauvin 16 years ago, he doesn\u2019t really design and make fashion pieces, he creates Haute Couture outfits for characters. This is all summed up in the House\u2019s motto: Find Your Legend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Movies, cartoons and music from the 1990s are the roots of Julien Fourni\u00e9\u2019s main inspirations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u00ab When I was a young teenager, my bedroom was my shelter. It was filled with fantastic figures: small statues of superheroes, mangas, princesses\u2026 \u00bb, says Julien Fourni\u00e9.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u00ab These characters have accompanied me in all my battles and they are still populating my imagination today. Of course, they have now all grown up in my mind. First Circus is meant to reveal them in full light because they have always acted as protective talismans for my creative soul .\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Julien Fourni\u00e9 is offering with First Circus an ultra-luxury wardrobe, including both womenswear and menswear, inspired by the characters who have haunted his imagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u00ab I have put them on stage at Th\u00e9\u00e2tre Mogador during Paris Haute Couture Week in an incredible theatrical show ,\u00bb says the dancing Grand Couturier.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u00ab Now, as a guest of honor at Aquafina Vietnam International Fashion Week, I am very proud to showcase this collection in Ho Chi Minh City. \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

From Julien Fourni\u00e9\u2019s new version of Alice\u2019s White Rabbit, or the Princess who has broken the magic mirror, the Female Clown from a black-and-white movie, the Starship Troopers chasing the Aliens, the Constellation Queen, or the impressive Circus Ringmaster\u2026 Each of these figures could come out of an animated film. This is what continues to fascinate Julien Fourni\u00e9 when he is looking at the metaverse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u00ab Far from only considering how to integrate in the virtual world architectured garments with multiple layers of fabrics, I also want to incorporate on female and male bodies in our real world, the aesthetics of the animated films that have made us dream since childhood .\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, this is more than fashion. Down with trends! Move on towards finding the best clothing expression of your own individual self: this is the core message of Haute Couture. An independent Haute Couture House like Julien Fourni\u00e9 feels free to create and offer its customers legendary outfits for ladies and gentlemen who give themselves the chance to acquire them and wear them under the right circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each look in this collection is an original work of textile art, through the mastery in its construction, but also through the selected colors and their incredible embellishments. Many craftsmen around the world contribute through their technical skills to making Julien Fourni\u00e9\u2019s fantasies come true. Just like the tailors and seamstresses in the Julien Fourni\u00e9 workshop, they comply with all his designs and demanding sewing technique requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u00ab My special thanks are going to Madame Trang Le, the founder of Vietnam International Fashion Week<\/a>, and to Madame Tran Nguyen Thien Huong, the soul of Harper\u2019s Bazaar Vietnam, who have been consistently supporting us over the past 10 years, as well as to all the Vietnamese friends and celebrities who have acquired and\/or worn our outfits: you are always in my heart and I am very much looking forward to meeting you all in June to share the joy I find in dreaming, sketching, sewing, and performing .\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

You’re going to love this, too!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
