Dubai-based fashion brand, Zayan the Label is reputed for its playful, contemporary take on traditional codes and clothing and this capsule kaftan collection in celebration of Ramadan is no different; it features the popular “sweeping swallow” motif, declined on colorful silk cotton and linen kaftans.
Apart from the bold, hand-embroidered patterns, the kaftan capsule features precious pearl appliqués, asymmetrical hems, and sheer paneling details, which add a subtle twist to the traditional garment.
Founded by Lebanese designer Zayan Ghandour in 2011, Zayan the Label has been notable for its runway shows during Dubai’s Fashion Forward events, while the founder is also the creative director and head buyer of the UAE-based fashion and lifestyle concept stores, S*uce. Additionally, Ghandour is the co-founder of the fashion distribution agency, Two Scoops. She recently collaborated with Puma, in order to redesign the classic Puma T7 sport jacket and was also commissioned to reinterpret Repetto’s timeless tutu dress into an edgy evening gown.
Zayan’s kaftan capsule collection will be available at S*uce concept stores throughout the Emirates, starting mid-June.
