Designer Julien Fournié SS20, The Adventure Begins

IRK Magazine

Designer Julien Fournié was influenced by great explorers who traverse human history and the emancipation of women. Colonists, pioneers, or visionaries navigate the wild. Although they disobey social codes, their curiosity about the world and their desire for freedom allows them to find their own truth. This beautiful Haute Couture collection took us on a whirlwind tour to Pre-Columbian cultures, tribes of Africa, as well as the Sahara’s Berber and Tuareg arts.
