ALEXIS MABILLE HAUTE COUTURE 2024

Alexis Mabille’s latest fashion show, titled “Mirror, Mirror,” took the world of high fashion to new heights. Instead of his usual bright colors, Mabille opted for ivory, pink, bronze, and brown, showcasing the transformative power of clothes and makeup. The collection began with beautifully tailored gowns in muted tones, adorned with delicate lace and dramatic draping. Mabille’s signature bows, sequins, and ostrich feathers added an extra touch of elegance.

In a playful twist, some dresses featured glittering scarlet lips and mirrored eyes, highlighting the collection’s exploration of self-expression. The grand finale showcased flowing negligées with intricate embroidery, embodying the idea that women can effortlessly switch personalities through their clothing. Mabille aimed to capture the intimate ritual of getting dressed and applying makeup, emphasizing the universal nature of this self-care act. The show, named “Mirror, Mirror,” reflected not just the choices of clothing but the personal and unique details of makeup application, connecting to the broader theme of embracing individuality.

Overall, Alexis Mabille’s collection was a captivating celebration of femininity, blending timeless aesthetics with playful motifs. The muted color palette and intricate embellishments showcased the endless possibilities that fashion offers women, ensuring the collection remained both empowering and engaging.

From a vibrant palette to the subtlest hues, Haute Couture elevates silhouettes much like cosmetics accentuate facial traits. The personal touch of a treatment, the distinctiveness of a complexion, the softness of a powder, the shimmer of an eyelid, the intensity of a look… Alexis Mabille’s brushstroke is both sober and sophisticated, crafted for women who recognize that true beauty is an expression of self-love.
