A standout bridal look closed the collection — a long-sleeved gown with sheer panels and silver embroidery, paired with a beaded headpiece and flowing veil. Accessories remained understated, with models wearing statement earrings and slicked-back hair. Hobeika and his son, co-creative director Jad Hobeika, appeared on the runway at the end of the show to thank the audience.

Paris Haute Couture Week opened on Monday with Schiaparelli’s surreal Fall 2025 presentation, featuring US rapper Cardi B holding a live crow at the Petit Palais. Other designers presenting on the first day included Iris Van Herpen, Imane Ayissi, Rahul Mishra, Julie de Libran and Giambattista Valli. In addition to Hobeika, several Arab designers are participating in the week-long event, including Elie Saab, Zuhair Murad, Ashi Studio and Rami Al Ali. The shows run through July 10.
