Georges Chakra

Couture designer Georges Chakra just celebrated 25 years in fashion. His celebration included gowns inspired by impressionist Monet’s paintings. He works with interesting fairytale fabrics and often uses big skirts with uneven hemlines and transparent strips and other details which appeal to the gothic eye.

After his success in the luxurious world of fashion and his expansion internationally from Paris to New York, Georges Chakra showcased his couture Spring Summer 2012 Collection exceptionally at Biel, Beirut: A Journey Back to the Roots to Mark the Celebration of his 25 Years in Fashion.

The guests were welcomed with a collection of 40 dresses displayed exquisitely at the entrance of the pavillon. Each of the dresses signified a sentimental connotation to Chakra: some made of exquisite fabrics, others displayed in renowned museums around the world and some worn on the red carpet. The alluring night commenced with a retrospective movie that illustrated the incredible fashion journey of Chakra in the past 25 years followed by a fashion show of the Spring Summer 2012 Couture Collection.

The inspiration for 2012 was derived from the many paintings of Monet. An era of impressionism and romanticism coupled with constructed tulle flowers in a vivid nature, dominated the runway this season. The structural cuts and architectural forms, which outline the fashion house’s signature look, were key elements of the collection. The colour palette varied in light pastel hues — powder pink, beau blue, tea green, sunflower yellow . . . and a burst of cotton white.

The festivity was concluded with a speech honouring and thanking his entire team of 100, especially those who have served his workshop for the past 25 years. A silver platter was given as a token of recognition followed by a long lasting ovation. A true emotional and sentimental moment shared by the invitees, VIP clients, international press and local media, followed by a convivial cocktail party.
