Yara Shoemaker presented - "The Hanging Garden of Babylon”
Couture Collection SS24 in Paris the 23rd of January 2024

The couture collection of Yara Shoemaker, "The Hanging Garden of Babylon,” is Inspired by the captivating allure of this ancient wonder.

While the actual location of the Hanging Garden remains a myth, its legend has fascinated many throughout history. At the heart of this tale is a love story, where a king's devotion led to the creation of a magnificent suspended garden, designed to evoke the beauty of his wife's homeland. Yara Shoemaker aimed to capture the essence of this romantic narrative, bringing the Hanging Garden to life through couture fashion.

Every detail in her designs has been meticulously crafted to reflect the paradise believed to exist. Drawing inspiration from the architecture of the garden, the silhouettes celebrate the grandeur of terraces and cascading waterfalls. Flowing layers and drapes add an ethereal touch, immersing the wearer in nature's splendor.

Colors play a vital role, mirroring the garden’s vibrancy. Gentle mint greens symbolize lush foliage, while deep purples evoke mystery and enchantment. Soft pinks reminiscent of delicate blossoms added a romantic touch, and shades of blue transported you to serene waters flowing through the gardens.

Through this collection, Yara Shoemaker
invited her audience to embrace growth, abundance and a connection to nature.
Just as "The Hanging Garden of Babylon” provide a sensory sanctuary, Yara Shoemaker hopes that her designs aimed to do the same.

She believes that Fashion is a medium for self-expression, allowing individuals to connect with their surroundings and celebrate their unique beauty.
