Discover the Julien Fournié Haute Couture “First Shield” Fall/Winter 2023 collection unveiled at Haute Couture Week in July 2023. Themed around the concept that women are the protective shield for mankind from the outbursts of masculinity, Fournié has created a collection filled with “feminized men’s outfits” and playfully embellished with military trimmings from cording and tassels.
An overall color palette of rich, deep hues is accented with shimmer and shine, gradients, and delicate embroidery. Coordinating umbrellas also find their way as accessories for several looks.
Of note is a radiant bridal gown accented with military stars and a crystal crown, representative of an alien being transcendent of all the conflicts of the universe.
