Homa Q
Homa has some the most beautiful abayas I've ever seen! She really knows how the Middle Eastern woman wants to look. These abayas are classy, sophisticated and airy. I really like the tassels and beaded sleeves...and they are a bit more dressier than the average abaya...so, if you have a formal event to attend this season, then this is the type of abaya you would want to wear and make a statement! I must also mention that Homa is a lovey young designer, and I really loved her enthusiasm for abaya design.
ESTINNA by Tina G. Bedi
Sexy, sexy and sexy is the only word to describe this collection by ESTINNA. The designer, Tina G. Bedi, really focused on making this line fun and flirty! The sea blue fabrics are gorgeous and the prints are Spring-time ready. This is seriously a body-conscious collection for the girl who really knows who she is! Can't wait to get one of these dresses...what about you?!
Troy Costa
I was pleasantly surprised when I first saw Troy Costa's line at the fitting for Dubai Fashion Week. I was so impressed, that I even asked if he could make his tie-dyed men's shirt to fit me! LOL...but really, I thought this was a fantastic collection for men. Any man would look classic, trendy and stylish in these threads. The detail of the blazers were flawless, and the plaid trousers/shorts were so cool! My brother's are always saying that there are not enough fashion choices for men in Dubai...but now, Troy has come to town bringing hope to all men. I just hope Dubai takes notice!
Beenas & B'jouel
Any designer that can make a jalabiya out of organic material, lace it with gold, price it at 500,000 dirhams, and sell it to a client before it was constructed, has my attention! Beenas & B'jouel are fashion designers that have shown us a collection of royal status. The jalabiya's were all luxurious, regal and feminine. This collection was the perfect marriage between fashion jewelry and clothing design. Well done!
Ekta Singh
Red is a hot color this season, and if you don't have anything red in your closet as of yet, don't look any further...Ekta Sing has the perfect thing for you! Her collection this season is filled with fire colors, such as reds, oranges and deep yellows. I really liked the originality of the vertically stripped shear fabric, which looked tre-chic and could easily be thrown over a bathing suit as a sexy approach to modesty. The long dresses that were worn by the models, floated down the runway like they were walking on clouds. The embroidery designs were modern and made beautifully to accentuate each and every garment...and best of all,the collection is made for all body types! Now, what woman doesn't love that?!
HSY by Hassan Sheheryar Yasin
Well he came, he presented and he conquered! I am talking about...the one and only... Hassan Sheheryar Yasin, creator of HSY! "Wow", is the perfect response to this Spring/Summer 2010 collection. The runway show was a combination of HSY'a sports and couture lines. The sports collections captured the fashion lifestyle of any city "it" girl or guy on the go, and the couture collection was all about Bollywood glam! My favorite piece was the brown leather jacket with the satin bow tie ribbon belt. Very professional and very well executed...HSY!
