Staying true to Illustrella’s signature style, two-tone dresses and trench coats also make an appearance this season.

Noor Al Bahrani

Omani designer Noor Al Bahrani looked to the desert rose for inspiration for her latest collection featuring flowy silhouettes, a radiant color palette, and distinctive embroidery. Flowers handcrafted from feathers and hints of lace elevate the aesthetic of the kaftans while embellished belts, and floral embroidery tie each look together. Al Bahrani makes use of rose, blush, and sky hues fused with aqua and dune to represent the lush oasis in the depths of the desert. Fabrics of silk and chiffon emphasize the design’s beauty, whereas lace, crepe, and tulle add a playful touch.

Twisted Roots

Emirati designer Latifa Al Gurg’s inspiration for the Twisted Roots spring/summer 21 collection is a nod to Bali’s beautiful culture, architecture, and nature.
