Fashion house Alexis Mabille presented its Fall Winter 2024.25 Haute Couture Collection, titled “Champagne,” at the Lido in Paris. The collection is an exuberant homage to the joy of life, encapsulated in luxurious fabrics and vibrant designs that evoke the effervescence of champagne. Mabille’s vision for this collection was to create a radiant and playful celebration, with each piece reflecting the brilliance and fluidity of the materials used.
The collection features an array of designs that showcase Mabille’s mastery of fabric manipulation and his keen eye for detail. The use of crepe, jersey, satin, lamé, velvet, and sequins creates a diverse and dynamic range of textures and silhouettes. The collection highlights Mabille’s ability to blend traditional couture techniques with modern sensibilities, resulting in pieces that are both timeless and contemporary.
One of the standout pieces in the collection is the blouse-bustier in white glittered organza paired with a long skirt in black double-faced satin. The large tied panel belt adds a dramatic flair, making it a perfect ensemble for a grand entrance. Another noteworthy design is the blouse with a large collar and fitted sleeves in white silk faille, combined with a long pencil skirt in black jersey. The slit on the side adorned with crystal buttons and the high-waisted belt in black duchess satin with topstitching creates a sophisticated yet edgy look.
The collection also includes a long sheath dress in white crepe with an asymmetrical collared bustier and sleeve. The long flowing dress in silver brocade with an asymmetrical neckline and split sleeve is another highlight, exuding a sense of timeless glamour and sophistication. The long cardigan in silver sequins, trimmed with ivory crepe and adorned with jewel buttons, is a perfect example of how Mabille infuses his designs with a sense of playfulness and luxury. The long sheath dress with bat sleeves in changing sand taffeta, featuring a matching satin musketeer collar and cuffs with zirconium heart buttons, underscores Mabille’s attention to detail and craftsmanship.
The collection also features several smoking dresses that reinterpret the classic tuxedo look with a feminine twist. The high-waisted smoking dress in black ottoman-striped cold wool with a deep neckline and satin facings is both bold and elegant. Mabille’s exploration of asymmetry and unconventional silhouettes is evident in pieces like the long sheath dress in midnight blue ottoman crepe with a large satin bow sleeve and the long sheath dress in red ottoman crepe with a large draped satin bow.
The collection also includes several pieces that play with transparency and embellishments. The long sheath dress in black jersey with an American armhole, high collar in black and white crepon scarf style, adorned with gradient feathers, is a stunning example. The long sheath dress in nude mousse crepe with a cowl neckline adorned with gradient crystal beads is another highlight.
The bold colors and intricate embroidery also play an important role this collection. For instance, the long sheath dress featuring “leaf” sleeves in emerald ottoman crepe, adorned with delicate embroidery, beautifully combines vibrant hues with meticulous craftsmanship. Another amazing piece is the long sheath dress in gradient green-black glittered velvet, complemented by a ruffled neckpiece in white double-faced satin, exuding both drama and luxury.
The collection also features several pieces that incorporate bold patterns and embellishments. The sheath dress with a rectangular neckline in leopard-pattern sequins and large pheasant feathers on the shoulders. The long bustier sheath dress in ochre jersey with large satin lapels, worn over a laced crystal bead corset, is yet another highlight.
The long heart-shaped bustier sheath dress in ruthenium lamé with a large matching lamé cape-collar lined with micro-sequins is an example of how Mabille uses metallic fabrics to create visually stunning designs. The long caftan in silver lamé, draped at the collar, further emphasizes Mabille’s ability to create pieces that are both luxurious and sophisticated. The collection also includes several pieces that play with volume and structure. The long sheath dress with a high collar and cutouts in black micro-sequins and jersey, adorned with gold sequin garlands at the hip, and the long flowing dress in aubergine mousse crepe with graphic straps in matching satin.
Th Alexis Mabille Fall Winter 2024.25 Haute Couture Collection is a celebration of luxury, elegance, and craftsmanship.
