Enter the exclusive world of Julien Fournié Haute Couture, where artistry, innovation, and classic elegance come together.
Julien Fournié’s Haute Couture 2026 fashion show – First Misfits – delves into what has happened to us. Is fashion losing its sense of daring, extravagance, and fun? Trends are becoming more politically correct and socially acceptable, creating new uniforms that reflect the increasing presence of boots on the ground.

In contrast to this violent resignation, expressed in both identity politics and societal norms, Julien Fournié advocates independence and asserts that haute couture, as a distinct art form, expresses itself through textiles. This is achieved above all through the autonomy of its designer (preferably the living house’s founder). Julien Fournié, who presents on the runway, season after season, strong characters from a fresh perspective, encourages his clients in their quest for unique individual expression.

Inspired by the “living together” motto from the years he spent commuting daily from the northern suburbs to the center of Paris, Julien Fournié draws inspiration from the diverse characters he encountered on public transport, on the streets of the French capital, and at his business meetings: the young designer found many captivating, for their bold visual assertions of personality. These individuals embraced their differences without ever shying away from mingling, conversing, and celebrating with people outside their own circle.

This haute couture collection emerges from the same energy: populated by bad boys with subverted codes, whimsical princesses with bewitching elegance, “new romantics” icons infused with pop culture, and unconventional bourgeois, embodying a bohemian, vintage, and universalist refinement.

The Julien Fournié women and men engage in a “battle of charm” in which each team adopts and reinterprets selected pieces from their opponents’ wardrobes to showcase a powerful style. Many embrace opulent embroidery in designs that no longer revisit the aesthetics of the French Second Empire, favoring references to street art, manga, and genre films.

The couturier blends silks and textile innovations without hierarchy. He calls upon sculptor André Tognotti to carve Carrara marble into crowns or the cups of a brassiere, transforming them into bridal jewelry. He also highlights the craftsmanship of a new-generation embroiderer, Amman Shaikh, who can revisit ancestral Indian techniques to project his designs into colored crystals with audacious artistry.
