And somehow the image of the Eastern women has become one of a rosy cheeked, plump lipped,
almond eyed, symmetrically cheek boned, perfectly manicured...impeccably dolled up. A Poupée so beautiful,
yet often hiding so much of the real her underneath. The real her, only revealed in tiny rays of colour,
perfectly lined, symmetrically adjacent portions. Segments. Musings. Hints of what could be underneath.
Poupée Couture began as a bit of a parody on how the Arab woman handles
the delicacies of context without compromising her individual needs.
How she both shows and tells, but never simultaneously.
How she constantly find ways to push the
lines a little further without creating an
uprising or loosing her femininity.
How she makes her mark,
yet leaves the outsider
wanting to know so much more.
Poupée Couture's inspiration materialized
into bags that have strong geometric forms
on the outsidebut then on a closer look,
emit rays of brilliant colour from underneath.
Colour always shines through,
either by a material layering or a perforated
Arabesque metal. The way in which
the woman's' 'true colour' radiates,
changes with each and every model,
but remains consistently present.
And has now become
the Poupée Couture trademark.
