Maison Natan’s latest Couture collection marries the timeless elegance of the 1950s with modern innovation. Under Edouard Vermeulen’s vision, the collection showcases masterful craftsmanship, luxurious materials, and bold designs, emphasizing wearability and the graceful movement of the wearer.
The inspiration for this collection came from contemporary sculptural materials, resulting in a line shaped with impeccable craftsmanship and infused with desire.
Drawing from the supreme elegance of the 1950s, a period dear to Edouard Vermeulen, Maison Natan’s Couture collection integrates innovative silhouettes, unrestricted movement, and the enhancement of the human figure, with particular attention given to wearability. The meticulous quality surpasses any occasion and resonates across generations. The Woman is central to each garment, her movements and presence enhancing the design.
Always devoted to elegance and creativity, the Belgian designer has reimagined traditional forms, played with light, introduced unexpected elements, and envisioned a new luster. The collection combines the richness of fundamental materials with “coated” fabrics for a subtle sheen and airy wools that lend a timeless quality to winter wear. This transformation of luxurious fabrics is demonstrated in pieces like an organza shirtdress with a back neckline, worn with fuchsia wool and silk trousers and semi-gloss aubergine gloves, and an iconic mohair evening dress perfect for modern events.
Recognizing that Couture requires both comfort and structure, Edouard Vermeulen has focused on complex constructions this season, presenting high-waisted flat-pleated trousers and chiffon pants that move fluidly. He mixes below-the-knee lengths with shorter garments, perfectly complemented by large, refined coats. A hat adorned with translucent pearls evokes a cinematic aura, while full skirts that are cinched at the waist create impactful silhouettes. The collection’s black organza cape dress and a draped bustier with a winged statue-like appearance stand out, capturing attention and embodying a rare sculptural grace. Materials are layered and harmonized; black features prominently alongside high-end leather for dresses that are both sophisticated and understated, maintaining the timeless aesthetic of carefully crafted minimalism.
The fabrics used are exquisite, offering variety through unique combinations such as a graphic satin top with a long shantung silk sheath skirt, a short silk taffeta dress paired with an embroidered cape, and a neoprene four-pocket suit with bent sleeves and a crystal belt. Maison Natan continues to innovate with double-faced silks, crepes, chiffons, and bold colors. The collection showcases lacquered textures and vibrant shades (neon apple, black violet, ripe cherry, and fuchsia pink) paired with black or navy blue, or contrasted with the pristine white of snow.
Each fabric in this collection comes to life uniquely, shaped by its cut and draping, ensuring that each piece engages in a dialogue with the body. Maison Natan’s Couture presents an entirely new experience and adventure.
