The House of Georges Hobeika unveiled their Autumn-Winter 2025 collection in Paris yesterday, on a day that was the 30th anniversary of the brand’s founding. The father son duo always create works of art that just happen to be wearable, and this collection, though stunning as always has great meaning- timely meaning. Expressing the world’s uncertainty through couture was the order of the day.
The House want viewers of the collection to feel confronted by an everchanging and unstable world, the instability that is seen in technology and upheaval all around us.
“We find strength by returning to what truly matters,” express father and son in collection notes. “The discipline of drawing, the mastery of our craft, the sacred act of honoring what we transmit: these become our rebellion. Every line we draw, every fold we shape, every stitch we embroider, is a conscious act of devotion that brings clarity.”
Looks are elegant, sensual and yet classy, traditional, yet daring. Georges and Jad are upping their game and have turned to surrealism in this collection. Corsets are intricately designed with details in the folding and beading. Shoulders are flamboyant giving a nod to the medieval era, with an illusion of intricate lace work. Silk is draped off a woman’s curves with a flow like nonother. There’s a hint of the 20s flapper era in the skirting of some gowns.
“Now, entering our third decade of creation, we return to the ancestral roots of elegance and craftsmanship. This collection emerges from the friction between self-doubt and determination, between the boxes surrounding us and our refusal to remain contained.”
What we appreciate in this collection is that many of the looks are not typical of the House. While it is normal for designers to have a signature style and typical fingerprint in their collections, they can become mundane, if they don’t throw the fashion world a curveball. Georges Hobeika does have a signature aesthetic, but what is poignant in this season and the last few seasons, is their sartorial storytelling is fresh and alive as father and son introduce artforms like surrealist elements.
Feminine. It’s the word that best describes this collection. It brings a gaping smile to a little girl and the little girl inside a woman. In taking the complexities of the world we live in, both father and son have been able to express what it means to transform garments that speak of renaissance and transformation, into a Couture collection. They have thrown us a sartorial curveball for sure.
