DESIGN AND TRADITION ON DISPLAY

All of the designers seem to draw inspiration from their own cultures and traditions, resulting in a stunning array of colors, stamps, and textures. The variety in fashion and in place of production was impressive.

Maison Thamani's designs celebrated freedom of movement, while Sultana.R offered a more trendy outlook on modest fashion. Nakaya Dubaï's luxury collection was a standout, featuring a vibrant unique collection for the season and a range of timeless classics.
