Spring 2023 Haute Couture: Georges Hobeika’s Small Talks
Maison Georges Hobeika celebrates its savoir-faire with a joyful collection. The silhouettes reflects a sense of ease and modernity: dresses appear to float on the body, while a neckline inspired by Marie-Antoinette opts for the fresh twist of a jumpsuit shape.
The ornate embroidery synonymous with the Maison’s heritage, creates magical “trompe-l’œil” effects; such as frosted water droplets, cascading diamond shapes and an ethereal burst of flowing feathers.
Gold and silver chains and intricate thread embroidery evoke the links and webs between individuals. Motifs from nature including a horse’s head, birds and feathers, echo Jad Hobeika’s own happy childhood memories. The striking colour palette features the essential yellows, pinks and blues alongside classic black and white, with plays on sheerness and contrasts.
