RAMI KADI Fall Winter 2025/26 - "L'éventail"

Rami Kadi has unveiled his latest Fall/Winter 2025/26 couture collection, L’éventail, named after the handheld fan that inspired its creative vision. The collection’s 41 gowns move between sculptural discipline and fluid movement, echoing the mechanical opening and closing of a fan. It channels this duality into silhouettes, surface work, and motion. The designer describes this collection as a bold reinterpretation of the hand fan as a symbol of theatrical femininity and artistic liberation. “Historically, the fan served as a tool of coded communication for women whose voices were muted by social convention,” explains Rami Kadi. “But today, it has become a flamboyant expression of presence. It has transformed from a symbol of silence and obedience into a statement of self-expression, and I find that beautiful and empowering. That’s why I made this collection as a tribute to it.”
The motif is central to every aspect of the collection and is reflected in its construction, embroidery, and palette. The collection’s surface work also draws from the geometric precision of Art Deco, especially visible in the embroidery’s structured radiance and symmetrical motifs.
