Full of voluminous silhouettes made with clouds of diaphanous fabric, the “Au Gré d’une Brise” collection by Krikor Jabotian is a wonderful tribute to The Wind. Off-white shades — ivory, champagne, cream and chalk — are central to the collection with pale, dusky pinks and shades of blended gray, beige and sprinkling of gold completing the line-up. Above, gossamer layers of tulle and lace seems to float on this pretty gown, below, strapless dress with cascading swathes of fabric creating an illusion of motion.
“The Krikor Jabotian nouvelle couture brand presents itself in its exceptional use of form and fabric. Creative interpretation is at the heart of Krikor’s ambition to meld the very essence of femininity with modern day fantasy.”
Windswept beauty — love the contrast of raw edges of the ruffles vs definitive structure of the dress.
My oh my! Beautiful one-shoulder sheath gowns with luxuriously draped fabric.
Billowing empire-line dress with flower-adorned bust.
Dress with bubble skirt featuring asymmetric tulle-lined hem and flowers at the bodice.
In June 2007, at the age of 21, Krikor graduated from French fashion institution ESMOD in Beirut and was immediately brought onto Elie Saab's creative design team. Following a string of successful shows after setting out on his own later, Krikor opened his own dedicated Atelier in 2009.
Watch out Fashion World, there's a hot young fashion designer to look out for and his name is Krikor Jabotian. For more gorgeous gowns from the collection, click here.
