Paris, France – This season couturier Georges Chakra has prepared for us a new collection that suits the needs of the two most important age groups in his clientele. First we see him introducing the younger GEORGES CHAKRA woman, who is breaking into real society. She is of the age range from 19 to 22. She is not yet used to the rigours of red carpet events. So she sticks to her cocktail events. Then we see the GEORGES CHAKRA woman of 23 and beyond. She is a constant fixture at high-profile events. She is a darling of the red carpets. More mature, she knows how to wear well more demanding pieces that require more confidence.

In the new Spring/Summer 2016 collection we find hints of revealed flesh, appliqués, iridescent materials, etc. These are the treats that Georges Chakra has in store for us. We know that Chakra loves Spring. For him it is the perfect occasion to renew, reinvigorate and to experiment. Therefore we see him playing to his younger clients with his fresh cuts, cocktails dresses, and embellished flat heeled shoes.

This younger woman prefers pastel colors of blue, pink, lilac and green. This section is all about the junior growing up into early womanhood. Thus she fills her closet with perky cocktail dresses so that the fun may begin in earnest.

Suddenly we find ourselves with the traditional client of the Chakra couture house. Her confidence is there. She knows how to wear a gown and goes full throttle. She adores her crepe gown in white. She prefers pleats and surprising motifs integrated into her wears. She is also focusing on capes, draping, and feathers. Thanks to her maturity, she wears sheath gowns, reveals her shoulders and even wears bold red and black. And she invigorates for the season by choosing gowns done in revolutionary fabrics that create spring forms and circular edged structures.
