JULIEN FOURNIÉ
JULIEN FOURNIÉ IS HAPPY TO BE BACK ON THE CATWALK AT LAST. WITHOUT FORGETTING THE PAST AND THE RECENT CRISES, HE PROPOSES TODAY, IN HIS NEW AUTUMN-WINTER 2022 HAUTE COUTURE COLLECTION, HIS WAY OF SEEING THE FUTURE. FACED WITH THE INANITY OF FASHION TRENDS, CUT, REFINEMENT AND BEAUTY CAN STILL ALLOW US TO TRANSFORM OUR VULNERABILITIES INTO WEAPONS, AND CHANGE OUR PERSPECTIVE ON THE WORLD.
COLLECTION »FIRST CREATURES »
THE FRENCH COUTURIER’S « FIRST CREATURES » SUGGEST AESTHETIC WAYS TO TRIUMPH OVER GLOOM. IN A WORLD WHERE HOPE SEEMS TO BE SCARCE, JULIEN FOURNIÉ’S CREATURES DO NOT GIVE IN TO PESSIMISM. IT IS IN THEIR VULNERABILITY THAT THEY DRAW THE STRENGTH THAT MAKES THEM HEROINES. THEY STAND UP STRAIGHT, ASSUME THEIR FEMININITY, INDUCE THEIR SAVING AUTHORITY.
JULIEN FOURNIÉ INSPIRATION
JULIEN FOURNIÉ DRAWS HIS INSPIRATION FOR HIS AUTUMN WINTER 2022 HAUTE COUTURE COLLECTION FROM THE OPEN SEA:
THE MANTA RAY IS SET UP AS A SYMBOL OF GRACE. IT APPEARS IN THE DELICATE NECKLACES, THE RESULT OF JULIEN FOURNIÉ’S COLLABORATION WITH GLASS ARTIST ADRIAN COLIN. THE FUTURISTIC AND ORGANIC CUT OF THE ANIMAL FORMERLY KNOWN AS THE « DEVIL OF THE SEAS » IS INSCRIBED IN NEW ORGANZA OR TULLE INLAYS. IT IS ALSO CUT INTO THE BOTTOM OF CERTAIN JACKETS, IT INSINUATES ITSELF INTO THE FALL OF THE KIDNEYS. EVERYWHERE, IT UNDERLINES THE ANATOMICAL FORMS AND LENGTHENS THE BODIES OF THESE HALF-WOMAN, HALF-ALIEN CREATURES THAT INTEGRATE VIRTUAL LEGENDS WITH PHYSICAL APPEARANCES IN A GRAPHIC PURITY.
JELLYFISH AROUSE BOTH FASCINATION AND FEAR. JULIEN FOURNIÉ USES THEIR PARASOLS AND TENTACLES AS SPLENDID AND VENOMOUS EMBELLISHMENTS.
CEPHALOPOD TENTACLES AND MARINE MAMMAL ROSTRUMS SENSUALLY UNDERLINE THE MEANS OF PERCEPTION OF THE ECOSYSTEM AND THE EXCHANGES WITH ITS INHABITANTS, WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE OF THE SAME SPECIES, IN THE BORDERLESS ENVIRONMENT OF THE OCEANS.
JULIEN FOURNIÉ COLOUR PALETTE
IN HIS COLOUR PALETTE, JULIEN FOURNIÉ MAKES BLACK AND MIDNIGHT BLUE SING FOR HIS AUTUMN WINTER 2022 HAUTE COUTURE COLLECTION. HE ALSO CHOOSES TO WEAVE TOGETHER METALLIC COLOURED THREADS, MOULDS THE BODIES IN A SILK JERSEY WITH RELIEF, EVOKES THE SKIN OF THE OCEAN CREATURES HE CHERISHES, HERE IN THE PATTERN FORMING THE MESH OF A FINE JERSEY, THERE BY UNDERLINING WITH TRANSPARENT SCALES A SHEATH IN « NUDE » TULLE, AND ELSEWHERE AGAIN BY USING A CALENDERED ORGANZA TO EXALT THE IRIDESCENCE OF THE LIGHT REFLECTED IN THE PELAGIC SPACE.
NEW MEANS OF EXPRESSION
« FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS, WE HAVE EXPLORED NEW MEANS OF EXPRESSION VIA ORIGINAL FILMS, BUT NOTHING CAN REPLACE THE LIVE SHOW IN FRONT OF A CHOSEN AUDIENCE… TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME EMOTIONS TOGETHER. FINDING OUR MODELS ON THE CATWALK IS ESSENTIAL, ESPECIALLY FOR HAUTE COUTURE. THE FORM HERE CANNOT GO WITHOUT THE SUBSTANCE: THAT OF A PERSONAL STORY TOLD TO THOSE WHO KNOW HOW TO READ APPEARANCES, THAT OF A RESOLUTE PURITY AIMING TO HIGHLIGHT THE ROUGH EDGES THAT MAKE UP A PERSON.
