Lebanese couturier Georges Chakra presented his eponymous label’s Spring 2022 couture collection during Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week. Drawing inspiration from Classical Greece, the 45-piece offering was presented digitally via a fashion film. Read on for some of the takeaways from the new collection.
Inspiration
The collection drew inspiration from Classical Greece, a period of around 200 years in Ancient Greece. This period in history is interpreted into wearable pieces imbued with light, balance and passion.Setting
The Beirut-born couturier presented his new collection in an abandoned Parisian garage. The contrast between the collection’s exquisite designs and the brutalist setting is stark yet dramatic.Fabrics
Finely pleated crepe, ethereal chiffon, tailored crepe, supple jersey and luminescent maille are some of the luxurious materials that make up the offering.Color palette
Dusty pastels, iridescent seashell tones, powdered amethyst, dreamy blue and traces of metallic gold and silver shimmer throughout.Embellishments
Sequins and embroidery emphasize the structure of every garment, drawing attention to the subtle asymmetry of a neckline or heightening the visual effect of a geometric design.Bridal look
The final look is a wedding dress: A full skirted gown in vanilla-tinted mesh guipure appliquéd with lustrous petals of organza and embroidered with threads of gold.
