Georges Hobeika presents its Autumn Winter 2026-2027 Couture collection as a wardrobe of light, lace, embroidery and sculpted form. Titled The Visitor, the collection takes inspiration from James McCrae’s poem Instructions Before Visiting Earth, which calls for open eyes, open hearts and a refusal to grow accustomed to the beauty around us. Georges and Jad Hobeika translate that idea into couture that looks at the privilege of being here through material, surface, color and handwork.
COUTURE COLLECTIONS
The collection revisits the House’s codes with a lighter attitude and an architectural silhouette. Flowing columns elongate the figure, while sculpted and draped bustiers give the body definition. Jackets with elaborate handwork draw daywear closer to evening, placing tailored pieces and dresses within the same couture vocabulary. Together, these elements create a wardrobe that carries the collection from day to night through form, texture and finish.
Embroidery remains the House’s signature technique. For Autumn Winter 2026-2027 Couture collection, Georges Hobeika develops motifs with iridescent beads and a glassy finish that suggests liquid. The surface work catches light and gives the garments a luminous quality. Every piece begins and finishes in the House workshops in Beirut and Paris, from conception to production, keeping the couture process close to the hand.
The House works lace with satin, silk and organza, building contrast between transparency, shine, softness and structure. Satin brings polish to the line, silk gives the garments fluidity, and organza adds air to the silhouette. Lace appears as a favored material throughout the collection, giving the season its strongest expression of femininity.
Blue dominates the palette through greyish shades, sky shades, deep hues and ocean-black. Beige, a color the House has favored for several seasons, tempers the palette and adds warmth. Touches of pink soften the story, while green appears in a nuanced range from mint to pine.
Nature enters the collection through small wonders translated into couture detail. A beetle in silver and gold, a snail and an orchid in bloom become earrings, each worn close to the skin as a fragment of earthly beauty. The orchid also appears on shoes, while another pair features lace. These accessories give the collection a direct link to life, fragility and the beauty people often forget to notice.
