Robert Wun unveils theatrical silhouettes at Haute Couture Week

Paris - Hong Kong designer Robert Wun presented his new collection with cinematic accents in Paris on Wednesday_ the third day of Haute Couture Week.

Entitled "Becoming"_ this AW25 collection is "a nostalgic exploration of the ritual of dressing and the profound role fashion plays in life's most important moments_" the designer explained in a statement.

Through surreal and theatrical silhouettes_ sculptural volumes and a cinematically accented staging_ the designer said he wanted to "translate the ritual of dressing into a story. From waking up on the big day to the blurred memories of the night before."

Held on the stage of the Théâtre du Châtelet_ the show opened with a model with a bloodied mouth. She wore a thick white dress_ as if still wrapped in her duvet_ with red sequinned handprints_ like a testament to a troubled night.

This was followed by a white coat splashed with sequins; highly structured dresses with bodices detached from the outfit; and a flowing violet dress with artificial arms placed on the shoulders to hold the veil above the head.

The show concluded with a bride in a sand-coloured gown_ with a sculpted bustier and an imposing skirt with a train. On the head of the bride_ a small figure supported her veil.

Born in Hong Kong in 1991_ Wun founded his label in 2014. Winner of the ANDAM special prize in 2022_ he showed for the first time during Haute Couture Week in January 2023.
