Avalon Vega

Avalon Vega’s Daniel Fumaz and Samuel François are familiar with the theatrics of fashion. The former hails from Thierry Mugler, while the latter serves as fashion editor at Numéro. And so the two Parisians chose no less a dramatic entrance for their collection, which ranges from severe suits to gauzy, ethnic-inspired dresses, than the spring 2008 Paris couture circuit. Though they haven’t received a formal invitation from the Chambre Syndicale, Fumaz and François bill their line—named for a synthesizer-drenched Eighties Roxy Music hit (“Avalon”) and a limited-edition Guerlain perfume (Vega)—as true made-to-order couture that, as the name implies, combines luxury and camp.
