Statement by the Designer:

The idea of Atlantis — the “lost” island subcontinent often idealized as an advanced, utopian society holding wisdom that could bring world peace — has captivated dreamers, occultists and New Agers for generations.

Ziad Nakad imagines, for his Spring Summer 2020 Couture collection, the Modern Day Warrior Princesse.

The celebration of fierceness, softness, determination, ingenuity and compassion that makes up the Modern Day Warrior Princess is electric and eclectic : tulle, silk and taffeta mixed with organza and chiffon emphasize the mermaid silhouettes.

The Modern Day Warrior Princesses, have been able to play to the strength of being female, to celebrate their femininity, not to shy away from it or downplay it: crystals, beads, feathers, all handmade details, are underlining all shades of blue, water green, sun yellow, peach and gold.

A hymn to sensuality, as fluid as the sea and as bright as the sun.

Paris Fashion Week Haute Couture: Ziad Nakad

High-end interior design studio and gallery Coup D’Etat has created a winter wonderland inside of the shop this season, complete with glass encased moose wandering among snow covered trees. The scenario even has its own pine-based scent, custom created for Coup, and which we hope they will one day sell, as it is fantastic.

Coup D’Etat regularly changes its collection and layout, giving it a “living museum” quality, although everything is for sale. The store has impeccable taste and design aesthetics, and an uncanny ability to discover talented furniture makers from across the world.

As the show in the store windows change regularly, we will be back to bring you their next incarnation.
