Known for his romantic designs imbued with intricate tailoring, organic cuts, and a harmonious interplay of color, Syrian designer Rami Al Ali presented his Fall/Winter 2023-24 collection at Palais de Tokyo during Paris Couture Week. Here are five highlights that epitomize the essence of the collection.
Gowns disguised as sculptural art on the runway
Inspired by Henri Matisse’s cut-out era in the late 1940s, Al Ali brought the artist’s “carving into color” philosophy to life, where striking shapes and dynamic layering were fused with flowing lines and impeccable craftsmanship. From multi-layered skirts to sharply tailored jumpsuits, the diverse silhouettes catered to every type of woman, showcasing a contemporary sensibility.

It was a couture show for avant-garde enthusiasts
Al Ali fearlessly explored avant-garde design methods in this collection, celebrating distinct expressions through his scissors. Employing luxurious fabrics like taffeta, satin, and soft silk muslin, each gown achieved a structural balance. The show exuded a sophisticated sensibility, illustrating architectural layering and hinting at Matisse’s playful cutting techniques.
Jewel tones painted the runway
The pristine white backdrop of Palais de Tokyo came alive with a palette of jewel tones, illuminating the runway with an enlightened elegance. From teal gowns to blush pink and champagne suits, the collection dazzled with monochromatic pieces that embody the architectural pieces.

The Rami Al Ali bridal gown was breathtaking
A true masterpiece – the Rami Al Ali bridal gown was enchanted with glimmers of ivory and delicate vintage rose beadwork. The bride shimmered with a magnificent train that gracefully followed her. The lightweight veil cascaded flawlessly, embellished with a pour of beaded crystals.
