Renowned for his elegant designs and lady-like lines, Syrian-born fashion designer Rami Al Ali doesn’t disappoint as he finally unveils his long-awaited 26-piece prêt-a-porter spring/summer 2015 collection. Emirates Woman looks at the enchanting collection and goes behind-the-scenes with the fashion extraordinaire.
Contemporary yet classic the stunning Ophelia-esque prêt-a-porter line draws inspiration from the exotic splendour of nature’s most luxurious flower – the orchid. The debut collection represents a new phase for the Rami Al Ali woman, with classical silhouettes and elegant styles reflecting a relaxed yet glamorous approach to everyday wear.
The orchid is a plant historically associated with both innocence and mystery, the orchid’s graceful appearance commands immediate attention, whilst its reputation as a rare flower evokes a sense of refinement and purity. Rami Al Ali was drawn to these dual connotations and the juxtaposition of femininity and strength enclosed within today’s woman.
Fabrics are elegantly feminine, with chiffons, crepes and silks playing host to a stunning display of embroidery, prints and beadwork – details that have come to signify the designer’s distinctive flair. Billowing sleeves, flowing shapes and voluminous organza all nod to the delicate sculptural beauty of the opulent orchid, whilst crisp A-line dresses and sharply tailored shifts lend the pieces a chic, contemporary edge. Longline jackets and ankle grazer trousers offer a sophisticated edge to fluid blouses and embellished cocktail dresses, creating a set of effortlessly stylish closet staples for the modern woman.
This exciting new line marks the first of Rami Al Ali’s bi-annual prêt-a-porter collections, thrusting him into the competitive commercial market. The collection unveiling took place at Jean Demavinssy Fashion Showroom, Paris, France.
