Lebanese designer Robert Abi Nader returned to Paris after a four-year hiatus to present his latest collection on the sidelines of Paris Haute Couture Week.
Diversity
Abi Nader’s 40-piece collection is dedicated to embracing diversity in fashion. The designs for both men and women highlight the importance of artistic designs that work for everyone.
Fabrics
The collection’s women’s dresses employ luxurious fabrics such as satin, silk, organza, crepe and lace in a diverse palette.
Sets
Tailored suits and ensembles — consisting of two or three pieces — featured jackets, corsets, trousers and skirts for boardroom-ready looks that can translate from day to night.
Colors
The collection showcases lively hues like green, yellow and pink-blue. Classic, bold colors such as white, black, and red also play a prominent role.
In action
Several of Abi Nader’s designs required extensive time in the atelier, particularly those involving hand embroidery with Swarovski stones, pearls, and semi-precious stones, according to the show notes.
Menswear
Abi Nader’s suit design disrupts traditional of men’s casual wear and introduces unique features such as a jalabiya layered over a suit jacket and a seamlessly connected robe.
