Julien Fournié's Other Worldly Paris Couture Show

Julien Fournié takes us to another universe with his "First Light" Autumn Winter 2016 runway. This season takes inspiration from galaxies and astrophysics, creating a collection that emphasises the only value that could transcend space and time - love. Fierce and daring with an element of elegant grace, feminine beauty is complemented with a sense of female empowerment. Celestial sparkling nebulae, dark matter veils, crystal stalactites, and gravitational designs are alluring with mysterious charm. Under a shower of black confetti, it was a powerful finale to which Fournié himself perfectly summarised the mood of his creative direction: "Haute Couture should continue to be to fashion what quantum physics is to astronomy".
