Atelier Zuhra heats up London Fashion Week

15th February 2020

Atelier Zuhra unveiled its London Fashion Week 2020 Collection - ‘The Immaculate Flight of the Phoenix’ in the grand setting of the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden.

The inspiration for the collection stemmed from Greek mythology. The phoenix is a powerful bird which cyclically regenerates and is continually reborn in both human legend and imagination. In the same way, the beauty of ethereal everlasting couture is ever present. The immaculate bird represents the idea that the end is only ever the beginning.

The LFW Collection entwined beautiful tailoring with modern innovation and couture. The collection was brilliantly coloured to represent the shades associated with the phoenix rising from the ashes. Firstly, the symbolism of the bird itself as the heavenly colours including light greens, pinks and lilacs represented the light-hearted nature of this regal creature.

Contrastingly, the eyes of the phoenix are blue and shine like sapphires, this was reflected through the bright vivid blues that were embedded throughout the collection. The ashes that the phoenix arises from were embodied in the deep black and charcoal grey dresses that were striking and sensationally worn by the runway models. As a rarity for London Fashion Week a selection of the models were adorned with embodied headscarves which was culturally representative of the Muslim community. The collection in its entirety was both emphatically elegant and impeccably designed, as the models glided along the runway effortlessly.

Having opened its first couture atelier in Dubai on 1st July 2015, Atelier Zuhra has quickly became the favourite go-to-couturier for Arab royals, Bollywood actresses and Hollywood stars. With an impeccable eye for detail and embroidery, the CEO Ryan Al Sulaimani took over the company from her mother Omani-born Mousa Al Awfi. Rayan Al Sulaimani is a modern business leader with a strong belief in the importance of a good education. Her thirst for knowledge, experience in design and planning as well as clear communications and leadership skills made her the key choice to take over the family business.

Rayan Al Sulaimani has additionally contributed to UNICEF by donating a masterpiece dress to an auction for an underprivileged woman to wear on her wedding day. In 2020, Rayan will be initiating her own charity project for underprivileged women that will be unveiled next year.

London Fashion Week AW19 Highlights

From the 15th February- 19th February I had the pleasure of attending the womenswear shows at London Fashion Week on behalf of Hauturely as one of their Contributing Fashion Editors. Watch my LFW AW19 vlog including a bit of street style and my outfits I wore each day right here.

I had such a fun time, good laughs, fabulous shows and all round great memories.

Day 1 Gayeon Lee’s AW19 nostalgic suave silhouettes and avant-garde accessories to match shone bright. The University of Westminster bunch created a creative eclectic mix of collections and Jayne Pierson delivered on high fashion furs (no pictures- watch the video to see why......).

Day 2 Quite possibly one of the busiest days with overcrowded shows and fashion week pandemonium trying to get in but truly worth it! The Stories from Arabia show presented three designers- Eau’s cooler than school fur jackets and gilets with Diana Battikha’s futuristic eyewear to match, Shereen Alothaina’s ornate embroidered pieces and my ultimate favourite, Najwaal Fadhli ’s angelic embellished ensembles. In the same luxurious venue Atelier Zuhra showcased their rainbow of couture gowns. True elegance.

Day 3 I had the amazing chance to attend a fashion party at the most incredibly beautiful Annabel’s Mayfair where there were a lot of famous fashion bloggers (surreal) and I got to see a live performance from the amazing and stunning Caroline Vreeland. Now let me tell you: the legends are true. The ladies toilets in Annabel’s are the most beautiful you will ever see in life. Period.

Day 4 The Paul Costelloe show delivered on nostalgic military inspired pieces and ornate ballroom gowns. So beautiful.

Day 5 The final day and the whole experience was topped off with Chanel Joan Elkayam’s inspiringly progressive collection with Munroe Bergdorf and Katie Grant and the models showcasing diverse beauty and elegant, ethereal dresses, corsets and occasion wear pieces. I cannot tell you enough how unforgettable this season truly was. Thank you to Hauturely for having me board. Check out my LFW AW19 highlights on Instagram to see more!

Cannes Film Festival 2019: Best Dressed

Forget the Met Gala everyone, real ones know that the Cannes Film Festival is the fashion event of the year! In part because it lasts for 12 whole days so there’s more content to sit there in my pyjamas analysing but also because it’s way less hyped up and thus less likely to leave you disappointed, a fate I’ve now resigned myself to with the Met. For almost 2 weeks, the richest, most out of touch people in the world spend their days looking pretty on a red carpet and judging films; I should be grossed out, but it’s more a case of just wishing I was there. So I present to you a collection of my favourite looks!

Winnie Harlow (left), in Jean Paul Gaultier here, was one of my stand outs this year. Yes, I remember her from America’s Next Top Model and yes, I’m going to blame the edit, because LOOK AT THAT FUCKING STANCE. I’m in awe. This is my favourite look of hers this year (mostly because of this particular moment) but it’s the first of a few I’m going to bang on about. On the right is Priyanka Chopra in Georges Hobeika, complemented by the walking accessory that is Nick Jonas.

Priyanka and Nick’s daytime looks were beautiful too (left), and if you’re not paying attention to the Cannes daytime looks YOU SHOULD. Stefanie Giesinger (right)’s outfit is sleek and crisp and effortless and everything I want to emulate but also a lot more accessible than the average red carpet look.

Similarly, here we have Izabel Goulart (left), Caroline Daur (both of the middle looks), and Chloe Sevigny (right), out and about in Cannes all looking elegant (I mentally pronounced that RuPaul saying eloquent) as fuck. I imagine a lot of these pieces cost more individually than I will ever have collectively in my bank account at one time, but there you go. I imagine they could be replicated for a lot less.

But, let’s go back to the red carpet so we can talk about Winnie Harlow again, lmao. I desperately want to know who her stylist is because her Richard Quinn dress (far left) complements her skin tone perfectly AND the accessories are PERFECT, which I’m impressed by because I feel celebrity stylists often tend to go over the top in that regard. Winnie’s Ralph and Russo look (far right) also flawed me; @ mystery stylist, I bow down. Elsa Hosk reminded us all that gloves can be subtle and looked as ethereal as ever in a white, puff sleeved Redemption dress (second to right) and the things I would do for Maya Henry’s Ralph and Russo dress (second to left) are unholy.

Of course Georges Hobeika, Zuhair Murad and Gimabattista Valli (invented the phrase Holy Trinity) dresses made an appearance, and I internally weeped as saving photos of them to my phone is the closest I’ll probably ever get to owning one. Left to right here we have Ana Beatriz Barros in Hobeika, Valery Kaufman in Zuhair Murad, Bianca Brandolini d’Adda in Giambattista Valli x H&M (more on that in a minute), and Shanina Shaik in Georges Hobeika too.

See, it was a good day for the Giambattista Valli x H&M collaboration because Kendall Jenner (far left) wore one of the dresses too, and it was probably her most iconic Cannes moment, not counting those photos of her and Bella Hadid laughing in rich on that yacht. Ultimate Victoria’s Secret model (trash company but it has given us some goddesses, let’s be real) Adriana Lima also looked phenomenal in Ester Abner, and Natasha Poly (second to left) and Josephine Skriver (far right) were born to wear Atelier Versace and Alberta Ferretti, clearly. The shade of Josephine’s lipstick is a beautiful touch.

Honestly, these were my initial 3 favourite looks of the whole festival. I’m a simple girl, I’ll pretty much lay down my life for anything blue or tulle, so obviously, Alina Baikova in Zuhair Murad (left) is one of my favourites. For the same reason, minus the blue part, I adore Araya Hargate’s Ralph and Russo dress, and CAN WE TALK ABOUT ELLE FANNING (right)!? The poor girl feinted after one of her red carpets and we could have a whole conversation about how fucked up it is that a sample size was so tight on a very slim woman that it caused her to lose consciousness, but for now, I’m just going to commend her for her services to fashion because it’s almost 1am and I need to get some bloody sleep. Regardless, the finishing touch of the flowers in the hair make this my favourite of Elle’s Cannes looks, and the dress is by Valentino.

More red carpet stand outs were, from left to right, Pixie Lott (yes, I didn’t know she was still doing her thing either but power to her, despite the fact Mama Do plays approximately 73 times a day at my work) in Yanina Couture, Madison Headrick in Ashi Studio Spring 2019 Haute Couture, and Michelle Rodriguez in Rami Kadi.

Farhana Bodi’s (far left) was stunning in a cobalt Atelier Zuhra gown, as were Hina Khan in Ziad Nakad (second to left) and Chris Lee in Gucci (far right). I kind of live for witnessing a lavender pixie cut a la vegan, marxist twitter on a stuffy red carpet, and I will also take a reprieve from this breakneck speed to congratulate DJ Kiddy Smile (second from right) for doing what Harry Styles should’ve at the Met. This is spitting in the face of toxic masculinity, men, not wearing a sheer blouse; your endless supply of pink suits can’t save you from our criticisms forever (I like Harry Styles, this is a joke, please no one hurt me).

Next we have, from left to right, Diana Penty in Nedo by Nedret Taciroglu, Elle Fanning again stepping on all our necks in Dior, and on the far right, Eva Longoria in Alberta Ferretti. Now, 3 things: firstly, I stupidly saved the 3rd photo without including a note of who she is or who her dress is by and so if anybody happens to read this and knows, HELP A GIRL OUT. Secondly, I still stan Eva Longoria for playing Gabby Solis in Desperate Housewives which is the most slept on show amongst millennials and I wanted to use this opportunity to make a passionate PSA and say EVERYONE WATCH IT so references from it (”Rex cries when he ejaculates” anyone?) can become part of our cultural zeitgeist again. Finally, Elle fucking Fanning, can you let us breathe, please? This old Hollywood inspired Dior look is so simple but probably one of my favourite looks from the whole festival because who knew it was possible to simultaneously look so glamorous and yet also so soft? It’s timeless.

It shouldn’t be a surprise that Taylor Hill makes the best dressed list twice. Obviously, she could wear a bin bag and look beautiful, but her stylist knows just how to elevate the whole angelic, other worldly being thing she has going on, and she was stunning in Ines Di Santo (left) and Fendi (middle) at the Rocketman premiere. Bella Hadid brought the same divine energy in a white, tulle Dior dress (far right).

Another one of Elle Fanning’s flawless Cannes moments was courtesy of Gucci (far left). On its own, I don’t think this dress would catch my attention as much as it did BUT the cape detailing with the red lipstick and the hair pulled back makes this outfit a stand out for me. To Elle’s right are Natalia Vodianova in Atelier Versace (second from the left), and Lea Seydoux (second from right) and Stacy Martin (far right) both in Louis Vuitton.

I’m gonna take a small break from Elle Fanning to fangirl over Guan Xiao Tong in Atelier Versace (far left). The quality of the photo I saved wouldn’t be out of place on 13 year old me’s HTC phone but I also think nothing captures how beautiful the structure of Guan Xiao’s dress was better than a semi aerial shot, and the same goes for Sririta Jensen in Michael Cinco (far right). Now back to admiring Elle Fanning, in Ryan Lo (second from left) and Vivienne Westwood (second from right).

Her daytime looks are just as good. Elle wears Marc Jacobs on the left, Miu Miu on the far right, and I have no bloody idea on the middle. If you’re reading this and you know, HMU. I promise, it’s not me being lazy; Elle.com doesn’t know either.

To go back to red carpet looks, I loved Izabel Goulart in Valentino Couture (left) looking like she just killed her husband, Dracula, after a domestic that resulted from her draining the blood of his afternoon snacks (I’m coming for your gig, Stephenie Meyer). Coco Rocha looked incredible in Elie Saab (middle); I’m surprised this was the only one of her dresses that stood out to me this year because I really like her designs. God knows I have spent far too long imagining myself in one. Lastly in this photoset, there’s Leomie Anderson in Rami Kadi (right) and, like, WOW.

Now, I’m going to whizz through these last few photosets. First is Sara Sampaio in Armani, then Alina Baikova in Zuhair Murad, Charlotte Gainsbourg in Christian Dior Haute Couture, and finally Sui He on the far right. I’m not sure who she’s wearing and Harper’s Bazaar and reverse image search is giving me dust so as always, if you’re reading and you know, hmu.

From left to right here: Stella Maxwell in Atelier Versace, Martha Hunt in Monique L’Huillier, Gayle Rankin in Delpozo and Dua Lipa in Valentino.

L-R: Madison Beer in Georges Hobeika (STUNNING, and I just read on Twitter that there was a gun pulled out at one of her concerts which is insane, and how has it become so commonplace in the states that something like that doesn’t make headline news?), Chloe Sevigny (again, I stan) in Miu Miu, and Hailey Clauson in Ralph and Russo.

L-R: Elle Fanning in Reem Acra (another fucking beautiful cape!), Elsa Hosk in Alberta Ferretti (Cannes 2019 has been GREAT advertisement for Alberta and power to her, am I right?), Jasmine Tookes in Zuhair Murad (I have LOVED this dress ever since its runway debut and there are few human beings out there who would do it more justice than Jasmine), and finally Araya Hargate again in Atelier Versace.

To finish, Eva Longoria’s sleek all camel day look is more of Alberta Ferretti doing what she does best, high fashion Twitter darling Sasha Luss’s dress is couture Chanel, and so is Margot Robbie’s. It’s the delicate touch of the plaits that I love with Margot’s look and Eva looks radiant, and both are a final reminder NOT TO SLEEP ON CANNES’ DAYTIME FASHION.

All in all, Cannes produced just as many extortionately expensive fairy princess looks as ever and, as always, I lived for it. I love dark, grungy fashion but still, the little girl in me can’t beat feathers, satin and sequins; there’s no event better suited for vicariously living out my French vanilla fantasy.

It also brings together two of my favourite things in life: films and fashion. Call me a basic bitch, but I’m very excited for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (though I am conflicted about whether to see it in cinemas considering I just found out Leonard DiCaprio has known his current girlfriend since SHE WAS 11, like, what the fuck?), Portrait of a Lady on Fire sounds incredible, and I plan on seeing Rocketman this week.

If you read all this post all the way to the end, I hope you enjoyed it!

WWD: Supermodel-turned-entrepreneur Jessica Minh Anh elevates the natural into a hyperreal call-to-action.

READ THE FULL ARTICLE HERE

Global sustainable agenda, with a fashion edge, is the goal of Jessica Minh Anh, an outspoken producer of visually dynamic fashion shows as well as a renewable energy advocate.

“I wanted to highlight the importance of sustainability through artistic and cinematic captures,” said Minh Anh, who produces a series of conversation-starting catwalk experiences in a handful of the world’s most notable landmarks, (including the Eiffel Tower and Seine River in Paris, the Hoover Dam and a New York City skyline show a few years prior).

In the recent Fashion x Sustainability photo and video series, Minh Anh visited Eco Centro, the hub for Soneva’s “Waste-to-Wealth” concept, Shades of Green organic garden, and eco-friendly villas whereby 90 percent of their solid waste is recycled. “We’re still working on that last 10 percent,” according to the facility’s manager.

“Our goal is to combine luxury, wellness and sustainability to create beautiful beyond bespoke experiences,” said Sonu Shivdasani, chief executive officer of Thailand and Maldives-based luxury resort chain Soneva in the film. The resort is dedicated to sustainability and is highlighted through the visits of those such as Minh Anh. For eight years, she has combined art, architecture, culture, fashion and technology through her productions, receiving special recognition to “bring a positive image” to One World Trade Center, six months before it was officially opened. Hope and freedom are two goals accomplished through Minh Anh’s charisma and willingness to explore.

In contrast to her natural surroundings, Minh Anh dresses in bold hues with haute couture, ready-to-wear and accessory statements in heavy rotation. Some pieces featured in the shoot include: British brands such as Myla London, Votch Watch and Fleur of England; Italian designer Peter Langner; Canadian swimwear brand Londre; Turkish designer Tarik Ediz; and UAE haute couturier Atelier Zuhra, as well as Lebanese and Vietnamese brands.

“I believe we can stimulate the mindset towards green initiatives in a creative way,” said Minh Anh, a supermodel-turned-entrepreneur who grew up in Vietnam. She shared her story, advocating for a push for courageous “reinvention and innovation” in a recent Ted x Conference.

A proven track record in elevating the natural into a hyperreal call-to-action, Minh Anh scouts her “next historic catwalk” with a special message on “hope and peace.”
