The region’s definitive fashion fixture co-founded by Dubai Design District (d3) and Arab fashion Council Dubai Fashion Week continues on its second day. Here’s a highlight of the runways that showcased astonishing collections.

PIPATCHARA

The week’s runways started with a showcase of Pipatchara's sustainable luxury collection titled "The Eternal Symphony". The collection’s signature symbol in blooming flowers and a colour palette of green, black, white, crystal and silver celebrated a harmony of responsible lavishness. With 30 looks of micro-plastic aesthetics created with advanced 3D laser cut, new exquisite sparkling limitless jewellery, and contemporary weaving signature, this collection managed to display new scopes of modern lifestyle designs.

WEINSANTO

Weinsanto, a DFW member, displayed a collection that reflected the designer’s outlook on art and love challenging the status quo. Its thought-provoking pieces reflected his unique perspective on both art and life thanks to a carefully curated colour palette consisting of camel, white, beige, and occasional hints of black, deep green, or raspberry, the collection conveyed a sense of melancholic drama inspired by the concept of "A Perfect Day." Moreover, the couture collection masterfully translated the designer's perspective into a striking "vase dress," constructed as a full-body corset adorned with crin fabric and interspersed with pot-pourri petals, embodying the essence of Weinsanto's artistic vision. Models graced the runway in an array of silhouettes, wearing slingback and platform heels, while showcasing elegant ensembles in nude colours, chic black and white outfits reminiscent of cowboy-style skirts, and city shorts paired with crisp white shirts adorned with ties. The evening looks elevated in sophistication, featuring a selection of bustier corset tops paired with oversized pants, some of which were uniquely corseted at the hips. Not to forget the reimagined wedding dress made of distressed denim, embroidered lace with scalloped edges.

LILI BLANC

On the second day of Dubai Fashion Week, Lili Blanc’s models walked the runway in designs inspired by the beauty of lilies. The “Shades of Lili” collection marked another mile in the brand’s journey. Exquisite fabrics, from elegant drape of crepe to the shimmering and translucent organza, the versatile, wrinkle-resistant quality of jersey fabric and of course vegan leather all came together to make a statement about a woman’s confidence and ultimate strength. The beauty of all types of lilies inspired the designer to give us inclusive looks dominated by femininity, fresh life and birth. The runway came alive with clean-cut ensembles featuring well-defined shoulders, playful outfits, and sleek silhouettes with an empowering presence of black and electric colours.

LAMA JOUNI

During Lama Jouni’s fashion show on the second day of DFW, the runway witnessed a variety of blazers, both fitted and oversized, while models accessorised with hair bonnets, ensuring that all eyes remained fixed on the captivating designs and the vibrant colors that illuminated the stage. The collection embodies the essence of a delicate yet resolutely strong woman. Featuring a palette that balances classic black with vibrant hues like electric green, fuchsia, and blue, the collection showcased sheer fabrics, stylish cut-outs, and statement blazers paired with striking panta shoes to elevate the overall look. Lama Jouni: a designer who's reimagining the concept of a versatile wardrobe unveiled her collection today, reaffirming her brand's commitment to female empowerment.
