Georges Hobeika Fall Couture 2013

Amidst all the excitement and glamour that was Paris Fall Couture Week, Lebanese designer Georges Hobeika showcased his royally inspired gem of a collection. Historical references to past princesses were freckled across the runway, denoted by elaborate ruffled (removable) Elizabethan collars, gleaming satin coat dresses and classic pencil skirts. 

High necklines, three-quarter sleeves and tea-length hems lent a certain modesty and grace to the range of stately looks. The colour scheme enchanted in a rich ruby red, muted nudes, a languid sip of iced lemonade, pale peach and a flourish of pink coral. 

Beautifully embroidered guipure lace, floaty chiffons and sumptuous satins lay the foundation for ravishing evening gowns that swept the floor with imperial elegance. Waists were clinched in with skinny belts, adding a modern feel to the time-honoured princess silhouettes. Silk threading and glistening pearls added the final intricate touches to this exquisite collection.

This is a glimpse across the Fall 2013-14 Couture catwalk of Georges Hobeika.
