Paris, France – Showing his new couture collection at the Mairie du IV arrondissement this season is Lebanese star, Dany Atrache. This season we see him elaborating more on his growing fascination with the juxtaposition of fluidity and form-fitting looks.
He opens the Fall Winter 2017 /18 collection with a majestic kaftan dress created in golden silk tulle with embroideries and crystals. He quickly follows that with an exciting look of a golden skirt embellished with guipure and worn with a beautifully done printed silk blouse. Both fluidity and transparency would appear in the next silhouettes. However it is in the beautiful white dress where we see true romanticism make an appearance. Dany Atrache combines silk, lace and organza together for the creation of this long-sleeved dress with pleated bottom.
As the collection develops, we see the couturier revealing more skin and as the silhouettes become more form-fitting. He adds more elaborate embroideries. It is a game of cache cache for him as we seem to see more skin being revealed while the fabrics inversely become more abundant! This results in a body of work that is sensual and elegant at the same time.
