Franck Sorbier Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2025 at Paris Couture Week

Franck Sorbier Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2025 – 2026 / FW25 at Paris Couture Week inspired from treasures of Incas from necklaces, bracelets, hairpins, combs, scepter, and crown molded from red clay—have become as precious as archaeological remains.

While the myth of Eldorado appeared in the Bogota region in 1536, the golden-roofed pagodas of Burma, described by Marco Paolo, are thought to have contributed to the origin of this legend. A custom of the Chibcha Indians also contributed to the myth of Eldorado: once a year, the lord, covered in gold dust, bathed in the waters of Lake Guatavita while the villagers threw gold and other precious objects into the water.

“I wanted to show the gold of the Incas, the armor of the conquistadors, a folk image that could cross continents, a lady from Lima immortalized by Irving Penn in 1947, an angel from Cuzco, a baroque ecclesiastical outfit, a bride with a pure soul. This collection is a tribute to Andean culture, which has never departed from its original identity.”

“This winter collection is an opportunity to once again demonstrate my commitment to the fur industry! I say NO to animal suffering! I say NO to the inhumane exploitation of animals! I persist and I sign!”
