| 2025-10-01 |     |
Beneath the Arc de Triomphe, fashion wrote a new page of beauty and vision.
In the timeless setting of the Pavillons Etoile et Presbourg, just steps away from the Arc de Triomphe, the French capital welcomed GX Fashion Week 2025, transforming it into a ritual of pure emotion, experimentation and avant-garde. An evening that fused the great tradition of Parisian haute couture with the cosmopolitan energy of stylistic voices from every corner of the world. After its Milanese triumph, the event conceived and directed by Gentiana Dervishi enchanted the Parisian audience, confirming itself not only as an unmissable appointment in the international fashion scene, but also as a celebration of talent and creativity.
The president commented: “This Paris edition has once again demonstrated that fashion is a universal language. The Austrian collective expressed elegance through rigor and innovation; from Japan we witnessed an aesthetic harmony capable of combining minimalism and poetry; while the MUBRI collective from Spain transformed jewelry into pure light, into emotions to wear. This is what GX Fashion Week lives for: to unite cultures, stories and different sensibilities on a single stage that moves and leaves a mark.”
The runways of wonder came alive with the creations of Maya Hasegawa (Japan) who presented a collection of strong scenic impact, the result of her long experience in theatrical costume design. Her creations merge performance art with haute couture, transforming traditional Japanese obi into gowns with dramatic, theatrical silhouettes. Rich fabrics, refined textures and a powerful sense of theatricality gave life to a fashion that is also performance, a vibrant bridge between costume and couture, able to surprise and captivate the international audience.
Nicteel by Owana Lima (Guatemala) brought to Paris the living soul of her homeland, transfigured into collections that combine identity and modernity. An emerging Guatemalan designer of growing acclaim, Owana Lima is recognized for her ability to reinterpret her country’s traditional textiles in a contemporary way, transforming them into urban and sophisticated silhouettes. After perfecting her training at prestigious institutions such as Istituto Marangoni and Elle Education, she developed a cosmopolitan vision that blends artisanal savoir-faire with haute couture. With her brand Nicteel, already featured on the runways of New York, Milan, Paris and Madrid, Lima demonstrated how Guatemalan textile tradition can become contemporary luxury, merging ancestral craftsmanship, sustainability and cutting-edge design.
Natalia Ramirez, brand Pastrana, gemologist and jewelry creator, founded Atelier Pastrana after international experiences in Colombia, Spain and France. With more than twenty years of experience, she creates bespoke jewelry capable of narrating emotions and personal stories, also exploring pre-Colombian goldsmithing. Her collection TYBA, inspired by Muisca culture, fused tradition, color and symbolism into elegant narrative jewels. Mokodu Fall (Senegal/France/Italy), eclectic artist and designer, presented “Jardins de l’Amour,” a collection where painting and fashion merge. Painterly motifs became living fabrics, with red dominating over shades of yellow to evoke energy and transcendence. Each garment told a story, from the romanticism of La robe rose de Shanghai to the poetic dreams of Les rêves de Ravhiance, the symbolic strength of La lance de Gazzé and the intensity of Le couple de cygnes amoureux, transforming canvas and painting into living couture.
