On September 6th established designers Noor Rashid Al Khalifa & Haya Mohamed Al Khalifa presented their collection ‘Noon By Noor’  Spring Summer collection 2019 during New York Fashion Week Women’s.  The runway show took place at Spring Studios, located in Manhattan. The light and serene décor, a palm leaf shadow at the wall in the back was all what was needed to showcase this feminine, natural, ready to wear collection. Less is more! 

Inspired by the beauty of Bahrain, the home country of the designers, models graciously walked the runway wearing dresses, skirts, tunics  and trousers mostly in soft tone colors as pink, sand and blue alternated with floral, black and white designs. Fabrics as linen, cotton and silk were used to create this fashionable "something for every day" collection.  The blue & white stripes outfits, the sand color skirts and trousers, the white dresses  are all examples of the elegance and simplicity this collection represents.

Basic and stylish ‘must haves’ for classic & confident women.  The last look, a beautiful black strapless organza gown was the absolute eye-catcher of this collection. Surprising, almost theatrical. Craftsmanship, bravo to this designers duo!

On Tuesday July 10, Nick Graham, presented his Spring Summer 2019 collection during New York Fashion Week: Men’s. It was a runway show and fashion presentation that took place in the Cadillac House on 330 Hudson Street. The theme was “ 1969" - To the moon and beyond. Nick Graham, a trend forward leading fashion brand and much appraised designer again outdid himself. Inspired by the milestones in history in the year 1969 (the first landing on the moon by Apollo 11 - and Woodstock) his collection can be called "Universal & Intergalactic".

A mashup of futuristic space suits, bomber jackets, NASA logos, floral and pop art prints dominate his presentation. A classic Cadillac parked on the runway completed the scenery. Alien looking models, men in silver and floral prints rocked the runway. A perfect mix and match left the audience in awe. The term ‘ men in black’ definitely got a new meaning when a model walked the runway in a tailored black suit (with an old school NASA emblem), a black dress shirt with white alien looking dots, a black helmet, atomic black gloves and a face cover. Impressive and surreal!

The silver metallic bomber jackets looked cool and are a perfect pick for confident and stylish men. A stand out piece in the wardrobe of the classic & sportive man is the blue suit with white block pattern. Ready to go, casual chic! The jogging pants and hoodies in black and white are a must have for men who love fancy comfortable streetwear. All eyes were on the model wearing a pink salmon tone ensemble of floral, dots and plaid prints. Fashionable and outstanding! This trendy and colorful collection, from classical patterns to casual wear, caters for all tastes!
