Rabih Kayrouz believes fashion transcends seasons—it’s a fluid progression of shapes that evoke emotion and elegance.
“I struggle with defining each collection by a theme or genre,” the designer admitted. “Sometimes I feel like I’m creating the same thing, but it’s never truly the same because the fabrics, colors, and energy always shift.”
For fall, he embraced satin and silk in bold hues of fuchsia, orange, silver, chocolate, and teal—colors he called “vitamin shades” for their uplifting effect.
Kayrouz gravitates toward voluminous silhouettes inspired by natural movement. Cinched waists, sculpted hips, a “pumpkin” dress, and his signature cocoon shapes reflect a tactile conversation between fabric and attitude, intention and instinct—”like wrapping a woman in a gesture,” he explained.
Many of the looks embodied this philosophy. A fuchsia coat distilled to its purest lines. A fitted black dress flaring into a saucer-like hem, striking a balance between control and freedom. Then there was a halter-neck goddess gown, shimmering like liquid metal with artisanal woven trim—a nod to a couture piece currently displayed in the Louvre’s decorative arts department. This gown, along with a striking fuchsia bustier dress, will likely become red carpet staples during film festivals and galas.
The most wearable pieces were the jackets, trenches, and coats in white, beige, fuchsia, and teal—timeless staples designed to last beyond any season. “No rigid rules here, just an invitation to feel powerful, noticed, and radiant,” Kayrouz remarked. That last word suits him well: over a decade working from a charming artist’s studio in Paris’s 6th arrondissement, he has quietly become a designer for discerning collectors. This collection offered plenty of covetable pieces destined to resonate with his clientele.
