Rabih Kayrouz endorses the philosophy that fashion is not about seasons – it is a continuum, a calm evolution of silhouettes that speak emotion and elegance.
“I find it difficult to talk about a theme or a genre every season,” the designer noted. “Sometimes I think I do the same, but it is never the same because the fabrics, colors and posture are always different.”
Before autumn, Kayrouz reached for satin and silk in a striking palette of fuchsia, orange, silver, chocolate and a green -blue green that he collectively described as “vitamin colors”. “They are meant to elevate,” he noticed.
Kayrouz is preferred by spacious volumes inspired by spontaneous movement. Cinched waist, sculpted hips, a “pumpkin” dress and its characteristic cocoon forms are a tactile dialogue between dust and posture, intention and instinct, “as enveloping a woman in a gesture,” he offered.
Most looks here illustrate that line of thought. A fuchsia jacket seems stripped to the essence of the line. An appropriate black dress rises in a dish -like hem, balancing restraint and release. And then there is a dumbbell goddess dress that apparently worked from Quicksilver, with traditional woven upholstery. That number was a nod to the couture piece that is currently on display on the Decorative Arts Department at Louvre Couture; It will probably also come up here and there, once a film festival and the collection of the Gala season; Ditto a striking fuchsia bustier dress.
The strongest of the real options were jackets, trenches and jackets in white, beige, fuchsia or green blue. They looked like the kind of timeless problem solvers who could be worn season-in, season-out for years. “No dogma here, only an invitation to feel strong, seen and luminous,” the designer noted. The latter word is appropriate: in more than a decade of works in a charming converted artist Atelier in the 6th district, Kayrouz quietly has grown into a collector designer. Here he offered many desirable piece that will certainly resonate with his customer.
