Louis Gabriel Nouchi unveiled his Spring/Summer 2025 collection in Paris on June 19th in a symphony of darkness and fire. Raw feelings such as desire, violence and sensuality were portrayed in the 50 looks composing the runway. The subject appears empowered by tortured, determined but sensitive. Carnality is the center-point of the show, even if skin stays relatively hidden, the energy passes through the exciting materials and suggestive cuts. Dive into the backstage of this hypnotic show captured by photograph Alexander Fischer.

Primal instincts and bestiality are showcased through waxed leather, greasy denims, black jacquard linen and transparent mesh, revealing just what is needed to evoke but not provoke. The association of bone white, oxblood and black contribute largely to the atmosphere of the show, subtly insinuating mystery. The diverse cast of models (including local drag queen La Grande Dame) brings an air of authenticity, showing that eroticism belongs to everyone.
