 Fall Winter 2025/26 Couture Collection Unveiled at the Zappeion Hall
Maison Rami Kadi presents its ‘L’Éventail’ collection for Fall/Winter 2025/26, inspired by the elegance and symbolism of the hand fan. Revealed on July 17th at the historic Zappeion Hall in Athens, the collection features 41 couture gowns that blend sculptural shapes, fluid movement, and Art Deco touches — all celebrating the fan as a statement of feminine freedom. The collection reflects the fan’s balance of structure and movement through sculpted column gowns, sharp pleating, corseted waists, and flowing godet panels. Embroidery highlights Art Deco influences with radiating beadwork, feathered textures, and symmetrical metallic motifs. Rich shades — from golds and electric cobalt to pale blue and blush — shift through ombré fades and mirrored details, catching the light and bringing each look to life. The collection’s rich palette — from golds and electric cobalt to pale blue, blush, and deep earthy tones — was captured inside the historic Zappeion Hall. Its neoclassical columns and natural light highlighted the gowns’ sculptural lines and delicate embroidery, creating a setting that mirrored the collection’s story of transformation and feminine expression. "Historically, the fan served as a tool of coded communication for women whose voices were muted by social convention,” explains Rami Kadi. “But today, it has become a flamboyant expression of presence. It has transformed from a symbol of silence and obedience into a statement of self-expression, and I find that beautiful and empowering. That’s why I made this collection as a tribute to it." |
