For its Autumn/Winter 2022-2023 Couture collection, Maison Georges Hobeika proved its love for planet Earth and humanity. This dreamy collection has come to life with the collaboration of Co-Creative Directors Georges and Jad Hobeika, marking the first official work between the father and his son. Couture dreams take flight, heightened by a heartfelt message of acceptance, liberty, and the freedom to express yourself.
Each piece elaborates tribute to the rare gifts of Mother Nature, couture savoir-faire blends with unbridled creativity to capture the wonders of the natural world, from waterfalls to waves to the blazing sun. This season’s bold Couture silhouettes mirror the power of life and creativity through beauty, colors and sparkles.
The first look of the show consisted of a pristine silver mini dress adorned with spikes deployed around a sparkling bodysuit. Combined with dramatic feathers and jewel-like sculptural formations of stones and crystal appliqués, the season’s palette flushes from Mediterranean blues to sunset hues of peachy orange, yellow, fuchsia and pink. Drawing the eye, a mesmerizing pistachio shade is further enhanced by striking emerald and forest green accents.
A range of innovative techniques were used to create this collection; 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 and exuding the mysterious streak of nature’s miraculous phenomena.
Among the finishing touches, the House’s orchid emblem resurfaces on earrings and a necklace of chunky crystals draws the eye to its mesmerizing diamond-like sparkle.
