The GEORGES CHAKRA Couture FALL - WINTER 2022/23 Collection proposes a cinematic interpretation of a romantic youth wandering the streets of Paris. Drawn to a connection to the city, this collection embodies evenings spent on zinc-covered rooftops and gazing through lacelike, wrought iron balconies

Set against the backdrop of iconic Paris monuments: the Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower, rich hues of bleu geode, raven, silver, cardamom, chartreuse, brick, royal blue, and iridescent gold contrast the city's grey and anthracite stones.

A jacket made from intricate velvet tubes meticulously twisted with tiered silk faille sleeves opened the show. A recurring theme throughout the collection, each band is molded and fitted, and hand woven into elaborate coils, offering a nuance to the graceful ironwork of Paris balconies. The highlight of this Fall Winter collection is a dimensional sculptured ballon, created with free standing hand threaded velvet tubes and spiked with feathers, hovering like a protective shell over a delicate Chantilly lace gown.

True to Georges Chakra's aesthetics, the collection puts the savoir-faire of the atelier on display and conveys a collection of 49 looks. From a glistening silver coat in faux leather and sequins swinging open over a mini skirt to sumptuous gowns in patterned silk chiffon, tulle and mousseline organza. The bride closes the show in a column gown of rose gold lace with fluttering tinsel sequins encased in delicately rushed cream tulle with a long train lined in Duchesse satin.

Inspired by GEORGES CHAKRA's romanticized youth in the Ville de Lumiere, this FALL -WINTER 2022/23 collection pays homage but never descends into pastiche. It draws inspiration from the colors, shapes and eternal beauty of Paris but more importantly, pays homage to the craftsmanship and originality of the GEORGES CHAKRA Couture atelier.
