Hayari Paris at The Plaza Athénée in Paris 17 May 2016

The Plaza Athénée Paris hotel received the couturier Nabil Hayari for a beautiful photo shoot. For the occasion, three dresses were photographed, two sumptuous wedding dresses and a red evening gown, which was specially created by the stylist to honor the color and identity of this amazing Parisian Palace .

The choice of this partnership is obvious, since Hayari Couture and the Plaza Athénée share the same values , such as luxury, Parisian style and their location in the Triangle d’Or.

In 2003, the iconic Hotel celebrated its centenary. It’s located on Avenue Montaigne, famous for its luxury boutiques. Since the day when it opened their doors, the Palace received very important clients like Grace Kelly, Gary Cooper and Jackie Kennedy.

With 208 rooms included 46 suites, we choose the Eiffel suite as the scenario for our photo shoot. In classical style, this suite was inaugurated in 2008 and named in tribute to the breathtaking view of the Eiffel Tower.

Weddings are also prepared in the Plaza Athénée as a unique and precious moment in the lives of their customers, and are the dream’s location for many women for the big day.
