6 designs to look out for in Georges Chakra’s Spring 2022 couture collection

Lebanese couturier Georges Chakra presented his eponymous label’s Spring 2022 couture collection during Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week. Drawing inspiration from Classical Greece, the 45-piece offering was presented digitally via a fashion film. Read on for some of the takeaways from the new collection.

  • Inspiration

    The collection drew inspiration from Classical Greece, a period of around 200 years in Ancient Greece. This period in history is interpreted into wearable pieces imbued with light, balance and passion.

  • Setting

    The Beirut-born couturier presented his new collection in an abandoned Parisian garage. The contrast between the collection’s exquisite designs and the brutalist setting is stark yet dramatic.

  • Fabrics

    Finely pleated crepe, ethereal chiffon, tailored crepe, supple jersey and luminescent maille are some of the luxurious materials that make up the offering.

  • Color palette

    Dusty pastels, iridescent seashell tones, powdered amethyst, dreamy blue and traces of metallic gold and silver shimmer throughout.

  • Embellishments

    Sequins and embroidery emphasize the structure  of  every  garment,  drawing attention  to  the  subtle  asymmetry  of  a  neckline  or  heightening  the  visual effect  of  a  geometric  design. 

  • Bridal look

    The final look is a wedding dress: A full skirted gown in vanilla-tinted mesh guipure appliquéd with lustrous petals of organza and embroidered with threads of gold.
