Fashion Week Studio concluded its three-part Paris Spring/Summer 2027 showcase series at Pavillon Dauphine. The final presentation brought together designers from across the world. Their collections featured couture, bridalwear, contemporary fashion, Japanese craftsmanship and Middle Eastern design.

The showcase explored the many ways people change and grow. Nature, water, cultural heritage, glamour and personal identity inspired the collections. Together, the designers showed how fashion can express personal stories and creative ideas.

Amal Saeed: The False Bloom

Dubai-based luxury house Amal Saeed made its Paris debut with The False Bloom. The collection explores the fine line between fear, perception and reality.

Founded by sisters Amal and Arwa, the brand treats fashion as visual art. It combines bold ideas with skilled craftsmanship and a slow-luxury approach. For this collection, ten sculptural couture looks brought the theme to life through hand embroidery and artistic design.

LIVERTA® by María Pía Cornejo: Purify SS27

Water became a symbol of renewal in Purify SS27 by Chilean avant-garde label LIVERTA® by María Pía Cornejo.

The collection combines structured tailoring, hand embroidery, fabric techniques and technology. In addition, resin-sculpted forms capture the shape of water. These designs also explore spiritual growth and a renewed sense of awareness.

Hiroko Tokumine: Japanese Heritage Meets Couture

Japanese culture, fantasy and couture came together in Hiroko Tokumine’s Paris presentation. Born and raised in Okinawa, the designer is now based in Tokyo. Her creative philosophy is “Wear the story of your dreams.”

Her designs combine kimono-inspired construction, Lolita style and couture techniques. They also draw on Ryukyu Bingata, Onagadori feathers, shigin and modern Japanese animation. Meanwhile, a live performance added another layer to the showcase. It turned the presentation into a celebration of Japanese culture and storytelling.

EV Boutique: Whispers of Elegance

Founded in 2019 by Emirati designer Salama Alqubaisi, EV Boutique, also known as Elegant Velvet, celebrates Emirati heritage through modern luxury and modest fashion.

The brand creates contemporary abayas with traditional craftsmanship, premium fabrics and delicate embellishments. Flowing shapes also add comfort and elegance to its designs.

Its collection, Whispers of Elegance, draws on the beauty of tradition while embracing new ideas. Fabrics sourced from France, Korea, Japan and Turkey bring together rich textures and refined layers. As a result, the collection reflects the brand’s focus on individuality, comfort and timeless style.

Ika Butoni: Woven Roots

Ika Butoni presented Woven Roots, a collection inspired by the links between land, water and the people who make each garment.

The collection uses botanical eco-printing to transfer roots and leaves onto fabric. This process creates unique natural patterns. Hand-painted brushstrokes, meanwhile, bring the movement of water into the designs.

The brand also continues to use natural materials and traditional techniques, including eco-printing and macramé. Local artisans, including artisans with disabilities, help create each piece. Therefore, every garment carries its own marks, textures and character.

Through Woven Roots, Ika Butoni celebrates patience, individual skill and the people behind each creation. The collection values the beauty of handmade work rather than perfect uniformity.

Cecilia Ortiz: Art Through Textiles

Mexican designer Cecilia Ortiz explores the female form through craft, textile techniques and nature-inspired textures.

Founded in 2025, the brand reflects Ortiz’s passion for turning art into garments and stories into textiles. Her work has already received recognition. In 2024, she won the National Fashion Design Award. She also presented at New York Fashion Week with Universidad Iberoamericana.

Mona Albloushi: Al Danah

Kuwaiti designer Mona Albloushi presented Al Danah, meaning “The Pearl”. The collection brings Kuwait’s cultural heritage into modern bridal couture.

Inspired by Kuwait’s identity as the Pearl of the Gulf, the designs feature satin, tulle and lace. Hand-placed pearls add detail and recall the country’s historic pearl-diving tradition.

At the same time, modern shapes give the collection a fresh look. The designs connect today’s brides with their heritage while celebrating beauty and cultural identity.

April Black Diamond: Los Angeles Glamour in Paris

April Black Diamond brought Los Angeles glamour to Paris through dramatic gowns, detailed embellishments and elegant silhouettes.

The brand has an international presence across Paris, Milan, Venice, Dubai and Beverly Hills. It creates statement designs for red-carpet events, bridal celebrations and special occasions. Through these creations, couture becomes a way to express glamour, individuality and change.

Anahit Fashiondrug: Architectural Femininity

Since its launch in 2016, Anahit Fashiondrug has built a style that balances feminine softness with strong, structured shapes.

Based in Beverly Hills, the fashion house combines clean silhouettes, sculptural tailoring and handmade details. Its work spans eveningwear and custom designs.

The brand views personal style as an expression of identity and purpose. Therefore, individuality remains central to its approach to elegance.

Maison Pacinthe Badran: A Couture Legacy

Egyptian designer and creative director Pacinthe Badran brought her couture experience to the Paris showcase. She founded Maison Pacinthe Badran, Pacinthe Badran Bridal and MISS PB. Together, these labels cover couture, bridalwear and contemporary womenswear.

Her Paris Fashion Week journey includes several collections. These include La Meduse SS24, ROSALÌA SS25 and SERENITÉ SS26. In addition, her work has appeared on the cover of Vogue Arabia twice.

Badran has also designed for prominent Egyptian stars, including Youssra and actress Nour. These achievements have helped strengthen her place in contemporary Arab fashion.

LE’VEENA Couture: The Gilded Reverie

The Gilded Reverie by LE’VEENA Couture takes inspiration from gilded interiors, classical art and antique textures. The collection brings these historic influences into modern couture.

Sculptural corsetry, flowing drapes and hand embellishments shape the designs. The colour palette includes ivory, champagne, warm neutrals, deep brown and black. Golden details add a modern touch to the look of historical luxury.

Bilal El Dana: Refined Luxury

Lebanese designer Bilal El Dana takes a simple approach to luxury. His experience working alongside leading Lebanese designers has shaped his focus on precise tailoring and fine details.

His collections cover ready-to-wear, eveningwear, couture and bridalwear. Across these categories, he balances sophistication with restraint. As a result, the cut, construction and craftsmanship take centre stage.

MOONMAINS: Éternelle SS2027

Éternelle SS2027 explores femininity as both lasting and ever-changing. The collection combines romantic details with bold shapes.

Architectural corsetry and sculpted silhouettes meet chiffon, draped necklines and flowing trains. Meanwhile, crystal embroidery, geometric beadwork, fringe and three-dimensional appliqué add texture and movement.

Inspired by dawn and moonlight, the colour palette features ivory, silver, blush, pale gold and icy blue. These shades reinforce the balance between softness and strength.

HEVA Couture: VERDÉA, The Art of Becoming

Nature’s gradual awakening inspired VERDÉA: The Art of Becoming by HEVA Couture. The collection uses branches reaching towards the light and flowers opening in their own time as symbols of personal growth.

Each design reflects a different stage of change, from rooting and awakening to growing, transforming and blooming. Hand-embroidered beadwork, shaped like branches, traces the body.

Through these details, the collection shares a clear message: beauty takes time. Growth happens in stages, and each stage matters.
