Yousef Al Jasmi Fashion Forward

Kuwaiti designer Yousef Al-Jasmi’s rise to prominence was quiet and quick. He now counts legions of fans; among them: Taylor Swift, who chose him for her stage outfits, Lady Gaga, Mariah Carey, and Jennifer Lopez. Indeed, Yousef Al-Jasmi is a perfect brand for women who have stage ambitions. Last season , he blinded the front row with his clear, crystal-encrusted designs and glistening gold. As a way to prove that he is not a one-trick pony, Al-Jasmi came back this season with an all black offering.

Black lips and sleeked back hair underscored the gothic feel of the collection comprising lace capes and embroidered chiffon with black crystals placed to emphasize the body features. A clever move from the rising star, affirming him as the strongest contender from the Gulf to dethrone the Lebanese monopoly on the red-carpet.
