SPRING SUMMER 2023 COLLECTIONS
The line-up of playful yet feminine designs encapsulates a contemporary outlook of Hollywood’s iconic Golden Era in a decisive 12-color palette that ranges from deliberate and understated to vivacious and bold. Classical references of soft, feminine beauty are merged with charm, wit, presence and character, channeling the essence of the silver screen stars of the times gone by within the modernday context. Beautifully structured shapes in bright colors, muted tones and soft pastels artfully present a sartorial iteration of spring – a testament to Al Ali’s creative vision. Vivid nature-inspired hues of green grass, turquoise blue, rose pink, coral, lavender, cobalt blue paint a decadent scenery, bearing striking similarity to the detailed richness of a renaissance painting. Feminine designs are infused with hints of floral and unexpected color combinations to deliver a flawless new perspective that perfectly balances understated refinement with head-turning style. – from Rami Al Ali

The mood is light, bright and unapologetically sophisticated, with silhouettes that demonstrate the immaculate mastery of the Rami Al Ali atelier.
