Ali Zalzali shows gothic glamour in his début couture collection • FRANCE 24 English

His blossoming, botanical and flowing forms recall the life cycles of plants and humans. Designer Ali Zalzali tells FRANCE 24 about creating his first couture collection, ‘Natura Morta’ and the evocative short film he made to conjure up the universe of these hand-crafted pieces. In his edition, we consider the contemporary and classical forms espoused by Egyptian artist Youssef Nabil and how technology can complement the human creative process. And from a childhood in Lebanon to studies in Italy and launching his label in Paris, Zalzali tells us how his creations have been influenced by personal experience. Also, we discuss the surprisingly sustainable nature of Haute Couture. #AliZalzali #YoussefNabil #HauteCouture Read more about this story in our article: https://f24.my/C3jT.y 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on X: https://f24.my/Xen Bluesky: https://f24.my/BSen and Threads: https://f24.my/THen Browse the news in pictures on Instagram: https://f24.my/IGen Discover our TikTok videos: https://f24.my/TKen Get the latest top stories on Telegram: https://f24.my/TGen
