Get ready for a fashion spectacle as the Paris Haute Couture season unfolds, featuring the much-anticipated return of Maison Margiela under the visionary John Galliano and the official Paris debut of Dutch-born designer Peet Dullaert. This four-day extravaganza, from January 22 to January 25, boasts a stellar lineup of 30 houses, demonstrating the enduring allure of Paris couture despite challenges in the luxury market.
Maison Margiela, synonymous with conceptual fashion, takes center stage with John Galliano orchestrating the finale. Renowned for his avant-garde creativity, Galliano’s last masterpiece, «Cinema Inferno,» was a multi-format show that left a lasting impression. The fashion world eagerly awaits the next chapter in Galliano’s visionary couture journey.
The season commences with the iconic house of Schiaparelli, unveiling exclusive spring-summer 2024 creations tailored for an elite clientele, including stars seeking red-carpet perfection for the 96th Academy Awards in March.
Adding to the couture excitement is Peet Dullaert, a Paris-based Dutch designer celebrated for his elegantly ethereal designs. A graduate of ArtEZ University in Arnhem, Dullaert makes his official debut as a guest member, a prestigious title requiring approval from the Federation’s committee of historic couture houses.
The couture stage sees the presence of mega brands like Christian Dior, Chanel, Giorgio Armani, Valentino, and Fendi. A standout moment awaits with Jean-Paul Gaultier’s unique project, featuring guest designer Simone Rocha, a British Fashion Awards winner following luminaries like Chitose Abe and Haider Ackermann.
Hong Kong-born designer Robert Wun returns, promising a season of unparalleled creativity. Paris Haute Couture remains the fashion laboratory where each creation is a masterpiece, showcasing the highest form of this rarefied art.
