During the presentation, beautiful models presented stunning dresses with delicate flower appliques as they moved among spectacular floral settings like in a tableau vivant.
More than 300 years since the brand was established by King Augustus the Strong in 1710, Europe’s first porcelain manufacturer has evolved into an international luxury and lifestyle brand covering all areas of life with its Joaillerie collection, exclusive Couture & Accessories collections and its renowned Home & Art Collections.
MEISSEN COUTURE® stands for “discreet European luxury”, featuring creations imbued with a heritage, beauty and sensuousness that go far beyond purely functional design and express accordingly a very special life attitude and cultural awareness.
Defined by stylishly royal elegance, an uncompromising, legendary aspiration to quality and a demonstrably high level of value, MEISSEN creations are treasured in the world’s leading museums and regularly fetch top prices at international auctions. They get passed on and cherished from generation to generation for centuries – both as a precious memory of the past and as an investment in the future.
Above all, MEISSEN COUTURE® means uniqueness, since each single object is individually hand-made for discerning customers and connoisseurs with endless passion and loving attention to detail. Inspired by thrilling journeys of discovery through MEISSEN’s legendary four-century old corporate archives, each of today’s creations is effectively a modern interpretation of major European heritage of art and culture appreciated by the connoisseur.
