Lockdown lifestyles have forced many designers to pivot away from their own aesthetics and toward the sort of simple, elegant clothing that feels right in the present. This collection does no different, with muted yet sophisticated tones that are easy on the eyes.

The collection takes creative cues from an award-winning photography series

The collection follows in the footsteps of a photo series by Swiss photographer Cyril Porchet. Named Seduction, they capture opulent altars in 10 baroque churches. The collection especially mirrors a picture of a church altar in Regensburg, Germany with incredibly detailed handwork. Baroque silhouettes reign supreme in the collection, with a touch of modernity in every piece.

A sense of regality can be felt throughout the collection, conveyed through the Dubai-based designer’s use of champagne and beige hues, interspersed with varying degrees of gold, from bright metallics to vintage rust. As with every Al Ali couture collection, beading plays an integral role to its makeup.

Employing a dazzling blend of Swarovski crystals and pearls, the collection introduces feathers this season to create movement and provide contrast to the starkness of the gold, while maintaining the feminine codes of the house. New materials such as gilded macramé are also initiated to form a sleek, full crystal look.
