From The Last Week Show
As some of you might have seen Saverah Fashion Weekend in London
last week, which linked onto "Islamic Fashion". Rather than use the
title Islamic Fashion show I prefer to call it a Fashion show inspired by
Islamic theme. All the collections are great but some of them didn't comply
with Islamic dressing code ~ indeed it is my personal opinion. Anyhow, it was
exciting to be part of a group of fashion designers who are making their collections complementary to mainstream fashion in the traditionally western dominated
fashion world.
Here are eye-catchers items from several designers (Chenille's Dubai based designer, Jeny Tjahyawati & Nuniek Mawardi Indonesia based designers, Sri Munawwarah & Neda Malaysian based designers & British base designers). Those items stick in my head easily even if you just looked at photo shot of catwalk images, the design borrowed from street or pop art to the 30's and oriental far east elements, which is suitable for the urban lifestyle .
