Dubai Fashion Week Fall/Winter 23/24 – Day 3

Fashion shows are still running at Dubai Fashion Week, and day 3 was full of astonishing trends. Lili Blanc, Lateforwork, Weinsanto and PIPATCHARA unveiled latest masterpieces

Lili Blanc

After unveiling its "Flamme Femme" collection Paris Fashion Week, fashion label Lili Blanc showcased its latest collection at Dubai Fashion Week, as part of the Arab Fashion Council's partnership with the Federation de La Haute Couture et de la Mode. Refreshing hues of gold, burgundy, and purple, along with the usual white, black, green, and denim were featured in this collection, making a little twist in Lili Blanc’s typical palette. Glam crystals sparkled over sharply tailored suits, capes, and evening dresses, along with a wide range of ready-to-wear closets ranging from skirts, flared and fitted trousers, and jumpsuits to make this an all-around collection.

Lateforwork

Subculture references and desk job roots; this is how Lateforwork’s latest designs were created. The designer presented revisited striped shirts, shoulder-padded jackets, and articles with a flowy feel. Formal wear were reimagined with disproportional cuts and intrusion of color pop with a thick, velvety fabric that takes the attire out of the office. Oversized tailoring, textures, and movements, along with various silhouettes, felt alive on the runway and enabled Lateforwork women to walk freely in the dead stock fabrics to promote sustainability.

Weinsanto

After showcasing for five seasons in Dubai as part of the collaboration between the Arab Fashion Council and the Federation de La Haute Couture et de la Mode, the French designer Victor Weinsanto has become one of the DFW members part of the designers' committee. His collection exhibited the surrealism of his proportions in every design. Mega cape, massive halo hat, deconstructed trench coats, bugle beads, chains, plastic shards, and metal blotches communicated a sense of fantasy in all the pieces created. The designer also gave us aged denim parkas, blotchy abstract print stretch cocktails, and sassy corsets made of velour.

PIPATCHARA

PIPATCHARA's new collection, "Sensation Spectrum," delivered a unique combination of sustainability and luxury. The collection was inspired by the sensations of nature experienced during vacations, focusing on light and sound, giving us 30 looks of versatile designs suitable for any lifestyle. The use of Infinitude, an unconditional material, enabled infinite possibilities in terms of colorway and design with a color palette of grey, navy, silver, black, olive green, light purple, white, and light pink. The Infinitude jewelry demonstrated the potential of sustainable materials in the fashion industry, while the contemporary Macrame technique elevated the texture and craftsmanship of the outfits.
