Fall 2022 Haute Couture: Georges Hobeika's Eternal Gifts
Maison Georges Hobeika paid tribute to the wonders of the natural world, from waterfalls and waves to the blazing sun, with a collection full of colours and sparkles.
The opening look — a pristine silver minidress adorned with spikes deployed around a sparkling bodysuit calling for a new-age goddess — sets the tone for a collection spreading a message of self-expression.
Combined with dramatic feathers and jewel-like sculptural formations of stones and crystal appliqués, the season’s palette flushes from Mediterranean blues to sunset tones of peachy orange, yellow, fuchsia and pink. Drawing the eye, a mesmerizing pistachio shade is further enhanced by striking emerald and forest green accents.
The couturier used a range of innovative techniques, from meticulous airbrushing to metallic feathers and spikes. A Crystallized tulle bodysuit swathes the figure of the model adding a dramatic appeal to the looks
Among the finishing touches, the House’s orchid emblem resurfaces on earrings and a necklace of chunky crystals.
Jad Hobeika, son of Geroges Hobeika, was credited this season as co-creative director.
