The Fournie's collection has also left a dramatic effect this fashion week, for those of you who are not familiar with  Julien Fournié is a French fashion designer and CEO of his own eponymous haute couture company founded in the summer of 2009. Previously, he was the last Creative Director of the Paris-based haute couture fashion house Torrente. In 2008, he was named Creative Director for womenswear, menswear and accessories at Ramosport.

Julien has a Castilian mother and a French father. One set of grandparents were tanners. His other grandmother was a lingerie seamstress and corset maker.[1] From the age of three Julien’s favourite toy was the crayon, his favourite pastime: drawing.

Fournié initially decided to study medicine and took a degree in Biology. After two years he changed career to study fashion, continuing his studies at the Ecole de la Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne graduating in 2000.[1] On his graduation day, Paris Fashion 2000 awarded him with the Moet & Chandon Prize for best accessories.[2] During those three years of study and the apprenticeship, he worked at fashion houses to develop his skills. After experience at Nina Ricci, he moved to Christian Dior, where he worked on accessories with Jean Mouclier, then at Givenchy haute couture.

He was starting to work at Céline when Jean-Paul Gaultier hired him as an assistant designer in haute couture.[1] He was entrusted with researching materials and designing embroidery trims for the Autumn/Winter 2001/2002 collection. He also got to work on the stage costumes for a Madonna tour. At the end of 2001, he joined the Claude Montana studio as a stylist in ready-to-wear and accessories. There, he developed collections of bags, scarves, luggage and jewelry.

In late Summer 2003, at the age of 28, he was recruited by Torrente as Style Director for their ready-to-wear collections. In early September, before his first show for the Torrente had even taken place, the management committee voted to appoint him creative director. He has since taken over the duties of Madame Rose Torrente-Mett. After advising several ready-to-wear brands in Asia, and particularly in South Korea, as well as in the fields of accessories in France (Charles Jourdan), he was appointed in early 2008 Creative Director at another French house, Ramosport, a Parisian brand specializing in "casual chic" for womenswear and menswear. When Ramosport was bought as a company by the Groupe Georges Rech in September 2008, Julien Fournié decided it was time to create his own brand, bearing his own name.]

The Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture Française, the governing body of the French fashion industry, granted Julien Fournié in January 2011 the guest member status, which allows the Julien Fournié brand to bear the “Haute Couture” label and participate in the Paris Haute Couture fashion week.[ Other work

As an illustrator, Julien Fournié has taken part in several projects. An American fashion website asked him to cover the Olympus Fashion Week for Spring 2006 in New York. He illustrated each runway show that he attended for the website. Julien also released a series of paintings entitled "Women with Weapons.

On this Runway also was displayed the work of  Atilier Gustavo, with a beautiful couture collection of Pastel colors ,drapes ,leather and a beautiful mix of fabrics and styles. A Glimpse about Gustavo Lins, Forty-five year old Gustavo Lins studied to be an architect in his native Brazil. He would be designing dwellings today if his professor hadn't asked him to reconsider which materials he'd rather be working with - glass and steel or linen and silk?

Lins' vocabulary is still that of an architect or a sculptor. He describes the upside-down, stitched "T" that shapes the elbows and shoulders and his jackets and the knees of his trouses as the pilier and the poutre of his clothes, and says that women particularly like the drapé of his dresses. "J'ai vraiment le sentiment d'exprimer l'esprit de l'architecture à travers le vêtement," he says. "A distance, c'est un objet; porté, ça devient une espace. Je le construit, mais c'est la personne avec son esprit et son intelligence et sa personnalité qui l'occupe!"

Lins' Fall/Winter collection of leather-piped wool shirts and jackets, paper-thin leather tunics, clean-lined drap de laine wool coats, and draped wool jersey dresses is his eighth. Roughly half of his 65-piece collection is destined for men, an "efficient" and "systematic" wardrobe of coat/jacket/shirt/knitwear/trousers like a uniform that he designs with himself and his needs in mind. Lins' womenswear shares a similar slim, straight-shouldered silhouette but also has an almost medieval allure this season. "The collection is a blend of armure souple and drapé," Lins says.

Fashioned from the most exclusive fabrics - cashmere, silk jersey, cool wool, wool crepe and softest lambskin - Gustavo Lins' clothes are quietly luxurious. As a fledgling designer, he apprenticed with John Galliano, Lecoanet Hemant and Jean-Paul Gaultier Couture, and worked alongside a woman who used to be Cristobal Balenciaga's chef d'atélier. These were experiences that taught Lins the rigors of cut, the importance of fit, and instilled in him a love of fine fabrics. In the early years of his label, he moonlighted as amodéliste for other big name brands, and his preoccupation with taking the two-dimensional design of a garment and making it a three-dimensional reality still informs his work. Lins is obsessed with the way clothes hang on a body, and fits all his pieces on a mannequin. His garments, many of them reversible and as beautiful on the inside as on the outside, are displayed on three-dimensional torsos, "so that people can see the garment's inside as well as its outside."

The men and women who wear Lins' clothes are a select bande d'initiés . They recognize eachother by the topstitching that articulates the "joints" of their jackets and trousers; the slim leather piping finishing the edges of a jacket lapel or detailing the drape of a dress collar. Another giveaway would be the Gustavo Lins label, but you'd have to really look for it. His name is there, certes, but completely hidden, under an architect's triangle of smooth leather stitched at the back of the neck
