GX Fashion Week - Paris - An Unforgettable Chapter of Emotions and International Sartorial Art

2025-10-01

Beneath the Arc de Triomphe, fashion wrote a new page of beauty and vision.

In the timeless setting of the Pavillons Etoile et Presbourg, just steps away from the Arc de Triomphe, the French capital welcomed GX Fashion Week 2025, transforming it into a ritual of pure emotion, experimentation and avant-garde. An evening that fused the great tradition of Parisian haute couture with the cosmopolitan energy of stylistic voices from every corner of the world. After its Milanese triumph, the event conceived and directed by Gentiana Dervishi enchanted the Parisian audience, confirming itself not only as an unmissable appointment in the international fashion scene, but also as a celebration of talent and creativity.

The president commented: “This Paris edition has once again demonstrated that fashion is a universal language. The Austrian collective expressed elegance through rigor and innovation; from Japan we witnessed an aesthetic harmony capable of combining minimalism and poetry; while the MUBRI collective from Spain transformed jewelry into pure light, into emotions to wear. This is what GX Fashion Week lives for: to unite cultures, stories and different sensibilities on a single stage that moves and leaves a mark.”

The MUBRI Collective (Madrid, Spain) amazed with the creations of three designers, transforming jewelry into emotional art. Andrea Siia presented the collections Mārācine and Vestigio, uniting resilience, memory and nature. Mārācine, inspired by the thistle, transformed gold and precious stones into narrative jewels of strength and hope, with a collier worn by Luna as a symbol of empowerment. Vestigio celebrated memory through gold, silver and orange sapphires, with iconic pieces such as Alessandra’s ladybug ring and a maxi-necklace inspired by an oat field, proving how technique and creativity can tell moving stories. Elsy Aragón, Venezuelan designer, combined geometry, architecture and industrial design in unique and meaningful jewels. Her collection “Orígenes,” inspired by sacred geometry, fused harmony and symbolism, creating a bridge between tradition and modernity. Active in MUBRI since 2016 and President of the Spanish chapter since 2022, Elsy has showcased her creations on runways, fairs and museums internationally, consolidating her distinctive mark in contemporary jewelry. Alejandra Cortez, brand Joyas del Mar (Mexico), drew inspiration from the ocean and the fishing traditions of Baja California, transforming shells, stones and pearls into contemporary jewelry and accessories. At Paris GX Fashion Week 2025 she collaborated with Pavlova Santillán, merging couture with the refinement of marine jewels. Her creations, present in Mexico, the USA, Spain, France and the Netherlands, celebrate the memory of the sea and sustainable craftsmanship, also exhibited at international fairs and museums such as Madrid Joya Exhibition and the IX Contemporary Jewelry Exhibition 2025.

Topmodel TV, Collective Austria offered one of the most anticipated moments, bringing to the stage five outstanding designers selected by Dominik Wachta and his agency 1st Place Models, three times awarded “Best Agency of the Year” in Austria. After the runways of Milan, London and Paris, the collective reaffirmed its role as ambassador of Austrian fashion with a surprising variety of creative visions. Doris Berger, brand Rosengarten Couture, presented gowns weaving the delicacy of past centuries with a contemporary touch: unique handcrafted creations ranging from elegant couture to historical costumes, with forays into steampunk and medieval inspiration. Nikola Baumgartner, trained between Slovakia and Austria, showcased high-quality pieces, the result of artisanal mastery and a path of constant evolution between haute couture and refined prêt-à-porter. Christa Franz, brand christAfranZ, winner of the Golden Award – Sustainable Fashion Craft, impressed with bold and sensual models made with natural fibers and a sustainable approach. Her garments, with refined contemporary cuts, reflect a strong and self-confident personality. Lena Buhl, a young talent from Pinzgau, unveiled her debut collection: sustainable bespoke fashion, ranging from everyday wear to couture, with a clear philosophy – clothes should adapt to people, not people to clothes. Claudia Hochmüller, brand Grünschnabel & Gänseblümchen, enriched the evening with unique dirndl and costumes, sustainable and accessible prêt-à-porter designed for both daily life and special occasions. Completing her collection, the jewelry of designer Irene Hiebl (Atelier Bombardi) added a precious and sophisticated touch to the ensemble.
