Tell us about your current collections.
My second collection is a presentation of designs with pure lines, volumes and delicate details handcrafted on high-quality fabrics such as Dentelle de Calais, silk organza, silk satin, silk crepe and silk taffetas. The epitome of luxury is to embellish a fabric.
What is the most important element in clothing design?
The shape and structure are fundamental; they bring harmony to your body. Beauty comes in all shapes, but knowing the right proportions is essential to designing a beautiful gown.
I’m a hopeless romantic, so for my second Haute Couture collection I dove into the world of French writer Marcel Proust, portraying women in a state of seduction and living the first experiments of infatuation, just like his characters in “A l’Ombre des Jeunes Filles en Fleurs.” In this collection, flowers are omnipresent and allegorical: they stand for the fragility and delicacy of all young women in love.
What are you working on for the future? I plan on designing luxury abayas in November. I’m also negotiating with stores in New York to be my official distributor in the United States and I would really like to open a showroom in Jeddah by the end of 2017 as well.
I’m working on my third Haute Couture collection that I will present in January during the next Paris Fashion Week.
