Maintaining her sophisticated geometric vision and artistic intuition, the collection brought about a blue and white pastel palette of exquisite designs. Envisioned ruffles and diagonally segmented accessories highlighted the runway.
The final day of Arab Fashion kicked off by the extraordinary collection of Rani Zakhem. Elegant folds and pleated details wrapped the silhouettes with refined finesse. The collection also featured elaborate bows and ruffles to create a dramatized effect on the runway.
Alberto Zambelli brought a collection of abstract pop art to the runway. Furry capes, scallop shaped ruffles and urbane overcoats highlighted the essence of street chic and the ultra modern. Exquisite contemporary palette and sophisticated printed work highlighted the silhouettes to near perfection. High-waisted belts, elaborated scarves, perforated sleeves and flowing ruffles brought out a refreshing outlook – a definite ultra chic.
