All the photos and backstage beauty scoop from Rad Hourani’s first couture collection | Hollywood yohana
Montreal native Rad Hourani managed to make fashion history not just once, but twice last week: not only was he the first Canadian to show during haute couture week in Paris, but he was also the first designer to ever show a unisex haute couture collection.
He described his collection as “unisex, pure and complex” to FASHION Montreal editor Patricia Gajo last month, and the collection was all that and more: luxurious, sleek and meticulously tailored. The makeup and hair was also true to the Jordan-born designer’s bare-boned, androgynous style. At the hands of senior M.A.C artist Luc Bouchard, models were sent down the runway in a palette of neutrals inspired by “angelic creatures,” their slicked back hair baring their minimalist faces.
Though Hourani won’t find out if he will be anointed as a member of the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture until December, he was in high spirits after his momentous first haute couture collection. “I feel extremely happy and thankful for everything. It’s been magical!” he told Gajo after the show, adding that he was looking forward to tackling the next collection. “Of course, it was very hard to do, but now that I did the first collection, I’m OK for the next one.”
