Super excited to announce my most significant achievement so far! The acquisition by the Victoria and Albert Museum in London of this look to be part of the Middle East collection! The “Ronda” coat and “Meshmesh” dress from Spring Summer 18 were part of the winning collection of the Fashion Prize 2017. The 'Ronda' coat uses a motif from a traditional Yemeni men’s ‘Me’waz’ or ‘Futah’ embroidered in the front of the garment in a corset shape. The 'Meshmesh' dress underneath is made from cotton mesh with horn buttons, the contrasting flap details inspired by a Vionnet dress from the 30s.
Thank you to for her support for the past eight years and for making this dream come true and to Tashkeel for generously supporting this acquisition. @ Victoria and Albert Museum
