Georges Hobeika's Spring-Summer 2025 Ready-to-Wear collection is a powerful testament to the transformative power of nature. Inspired by the duality of crocodiles and snakes, the collection embodies the creatures’ strength, adaptability, and primal energy, serving as powerful symbols of resilience and evolution. The collection celebrates this process of transformation, urging us to embrace our inner resilience and adaptability.
It translates couture savoir-faire into the world of Ready-to-Wear, showcasing innovative techniques and intricate details. Maison Georges Hobeika's trademark embroidery and threadwork pushes boundaries, creating new textures and structures that mimic the elements of nature with remarkable lightness. Flowers take center stage in diverse forms, with 3D embroidery, sequins, acrylics, and fabric creations made from gabardine, linen, and crepe. The classic patterns of crocodile skin are painstakingly recreated by hand on garments, creating an extravagant, almost-mosaic effect. Flowers blossom from the looks themselves, crafted by hand and layered for a textured effect. The finest mesh is studded with glass beads, adding a jewel-like shimmer.
Animal textures are created with fabric, adding depth and dimension. Extravagant embroidered jewels inspired by necklaces, bracelets, and brooches are meticulously crafted, featuring butterflies, flowers, leaves, and spiraling cashmere shapes arranged in complex and harmonious color combinations. Crystallized borders are padded to create the illusion of high jewelry. Flowers are integrated into accessories, from crystallized and chrome-colored dangling bouquets of flowers adorning earrings to 3D suede and fabric flowers embellishing shoes and bags. Chains are carefully hand-stitched together, forming a strong and protective armored mesh, holding colored stones within. This collection is a visual feast that inspires us to embrace transformation and navigate the complexities of life with strength and beauty.
