Paris-ALSHARQIYA, July 17: After a two-year hiatus from participating in Paris Fashion Week, Australian designer Tamara Ralph returns to launch the first shows of her new brand, "Tamara Ralph Couture". "?
Designer Tamara Ralph had previously achieved great success in the world of haute couture through the "Ralph & Russo" brand, which she launched in 2010 from London in collaboration with Australian banker Michael Russo, with whom she had a romantic relationship.
This brand was able to carve out a special place for itself in the world of fashion and attract the attention of celebrities and stars such as Angelina Jolie and Duchess of Sussex Megan Markle, who wore her signature in her engagement photos with Prince Harry.
However, the year 2021 witnessed the separation of the duo, Tamara and Michael, in the field of life and work alike, and the brand they founded was absent from the events of international fashion weeks and the looks of the stars on the red carpet.
Tamara sought to return to the field of fashion that she loved and excelled in, launching the "Tamara Ralph Couture" house, which was recently worn by Queen Rania of Jordan at the coronation ceremony of Britain's King Charles III. As for the first shows of this house, it was recently presented as part of the activities of the Paris Couture Week for the fall-winter 2023 fashion.
Choosing to highlight the skill and craftsmanship handed down from generations of haute couture workers, Tamara Ralph revealed that she wanted to create a brand that would stand the test of time. The new designs that she presented seemed encrusted with jewels and worked with perfection, and they were presented in a feminine color palette dominated by pastel gradations and metallic materials, while black and white played a key role in many looks.
Tamara Ralph was able to live up to the expectations expected from her through her novelty, and she used the Parisian elegance that dominated many designs through the use of pearls and crystal, and some dresses were decorated with layers of ruffles and large roses that gave them a modern romantic character. The show concluded with a wedding dress adorned with pearls and crystals, and accompanied by a large knot at the back, and long white gloves.
