Rabih Kayrouz joins Paris Couture Week as fully-fledged member

Paris Couture Week is fast approaching, but it looks like some changes are
still being made to the calendar. Maison Rabih Kayrouz, which was initially
reported to be showing again as a guest member this season, has actually
been bumped up to a full-fledged member. While it might not seem like major
news, since the brand has been invited to show as a guest in 2016, gaining
couture status is not easy.

The Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture, Paris’ governing couture body,
has very strict rules for who gains couture membership. A few
qualifications including showing two couture collections a year, employing
a certain number of people in your atelier, and of course producing pieces
made by hand.

Rabih Kayrouz is known for their fun, colorful designs which have been
gaining growing traction among luxury consumers over the past several
years. Another season at couture week will easily help further catapult
them into the spotlight.
