Paris, France – In his new couture collection for Fall/Winter 2015/16 we see Abed Mahfouz using a bold and optimistically joyous color palette to set the tone for his brand of elegance. The collection sees the couturier working with light draping, corsets and embroideries to paint the portrait of a woman who will embrace the season with fearless confidence.
Mahfouz uses architectural inspirations to shape the 35 silhouettes of short perky cocktail dresses, long gowns, floor-sweeping trains and full ballroom gowns, which fall under the domination of silk. To them he adds colorful stones, appliqués and embroideries for embellishing features.
And while he also likes to bare the shoulders, arms and legs, he also using a nice quantity of cut-outs to continually frame the Mahfouz woman’s body.
