A Philosophy Beyond Seasons

Lebanese designer Rabih Kayrouz embraces a philosophy where fashion transcends the constraints of seasons. He perceives it as an ongoing evolution—a continuum of shapes that resonates with emotion and elegance.

Observing the seasonal challenges in defining a singular theme, Kayrouz remarked, “I find it hard to talk each season about a theme or a genre. Sometimes I think I’m doing the same thing, but it’s actually never the same because the fabrics, colors, and attitude are always different.”

Vibrant Palette for Fall

For the upcoming fall season, Kayrouz has chosen to incorporate a rich combination of satin and silk. The collection showcases a vivid palette that includes fuchsia, orange, silver, chocolate, and teal green, collectively described by the designer as “vitamin colors.” As he explains, “They’re meant to uplift.”

Signature Silhouettes

Kayrouz’s design ethos leans towards generous volumes that mimic dynamic movement. His aesthetic features cinched waists, sculpted hips, and signature cocoon shapes, creating a tactile conversation between fabric and intent. He describes this process as “like enveloping a woman in a gesture.”

Showcasing Real-Life Wearability

The collection is rich with interpretations of these ideas. Highlighted pieces include:

• A minimalist fuchsia coat that emphasizes clean lines.
• A fitted black dress that flares into a dramatic saucer-like hem.
• A halter neck goddess gown crafted to evoke the fluidity of quicksilver, complete with artisanally woven trim.

Notably, the halter neck gown pays homage to a couture piece exhibited in the Louvre, suggesting its presence at upcoming gala events.

Timeless Investment Pieces

Among the standout offerings are various jackets, trenches, and coats in hues of white, beige, fuchsia, and teal. These items are presented as enduring staple pieces suitable for long-term wear. As Kayrouz emphasizes, “No dogma here, only an invitation to feel strong, seen, and luminous.”

Operating from a charming atelier in Paris’s 6th arrondissement for over a decade, Kayrouz has established himself as a designer whose creations are likely to resonate deeply with discerning clients seeking unique, covetable fashion items.
