My Top 5 Favourite Arab Fashion Designers

As an Arab blogger, it has only been natural for me to mainly focus on Arab celebrities' fashion choices, especially when they've chosen an Arab designer to dress them, as that is not only what I gravitate towards, in terms of taste, but I feel it is important to support Arab fashion designers and talent in general. Even though language barriers don't get in the way of fashion, and many of the following designers have been able to reach international levels and recognition beyond the 'Arab World', my favourites are not based on popularity, but my personal taste, hence, it will not be everybody's preference.

These are in no particular order, except for the first two, because I couldn't possibly decide on the rest.

Zuhair Murad

Zuhair Murad is not only my favourite Arab Fashion Designer, he is my favourite Fashion Designer, full stop. Every season, he blesses us with his impeccable taste and designs in Haute Couture, that consistently take us to a world of fantasy through his silhouettes, colours, range of fabrics and the embroidery and embellishments that are incorporated onto the majority of his pieces, leaving me  utterly mesmerised and a little emotional after viewing every collection.

Below I've put together 46 of my favourite looks from Couture collection Spring 2007 to Spring 2015, but my favourites are his Fall 2009, Spring 2011, Spring 2012 and Spring and Fall 2013... to name just a few, because I can't possibly choose a definite favourite.
(Fall 15/16 collection hadn't come out at the time I wrote this)

Elie Saab

Another Lebanese King of Fashion is Elie Saab, whose distinctive designs never fail to impress, although they borderline between repeated at times, they are beautiful nonetheless. His name has become a synonym for 'class' and 'elegance' for many, and with a sprinkle of fairy dust, sequins, beads and appliques, he presents us with his dreamy designs every season.

Again, below are 45 of my favourite looks from his Couture collection Fall 2006 to Spring 2015. I feel I can safely say that my favourite collection was the Fall 2012, it was just utter perfection. Spring and Fall 2014, Spring 2011 and Spring 2012 also really stand out for me.
(Fall 15/16 and Spring 16 collections hadn't come out at the time I wrote this but I absolutely loved it, Elie Saab's was definitely my favourite)

Ziad Nakad

Even though this designer has dressed the likes of Cheryl Fernandez Versini and Nicole Scherzinger, I think Nakad deserves much more recognition and popularity for his beautiful work, and you only have to look at the slideshow below to see why.

I have only been able to find the dresses from Fall 2013 to Summer 2015, but I'm sure he has been around for a lot longer, and it is so hard to choose a favourite collection from these, as most often, designers tend to have their ups and downs, but I found that Ziad Nakad stays consistent.

I would probably say Fall 2015, for the sole reason that I have chosen more gowns out of that collection, but I really do love them equally!

Tony Ward

I really wanted to include designers from a range of different 'Arab' countries, but it looks like most of my favourites are Lebanese, and I'm not even sorry: the Lebanese are known for their good taste, and that's just a fact.

Below are a couple of looks from the Lebanese designer's Fall 2006 collection, and then it skips to Fall 2010 all the way to most recent, Fall 2015, because those collections appeal to me much more, and I generally like the direction of which he has been going since Fall 2010. His collections just keep getting better by the season, there is not a hint of repetition in his designs, and he renews himself with every collection. He has quickly become a favourite of mine, and I think the collections that stand out for me the most have to be his Spring 2014 and of course, Fall 2015.

Abed Mahfouz

Last but certainly not least, is yet another Lebanese fashion designer!
Below is a compilation of Mahfouz's couture collections, from Spring 2007 to Spring 2015, and it is clear to see that his designs have been getting increasingly better, with Fall 14/15 collection being my definite favourite. Everything about that collection screams "perfection", from the colour palette to the silhouettes.

Najwa Karam Fashion on Arabs Got Talent Season 4

Najwa Karam is possibly the number one most anticipated TV personality; her fashion choices never lack elegance and class, making her the ultimate style inspiration and fashion icon for millions of Arab women, and Arabs Got Talent is our best source, as Miss Karam continuously sets the bar higher as she takes the opportunity to showcase her beautiful offstage style over the course of 13 consecutive weeks.

For the first episode of the live shows, Najwa Karam opted for this lime-green coloured long-sleeved bandage top and matching knee-long skirt from the Herve Leger Pre-Spring 2014 collection, featuring grey embroideries and zips down both pieces.

Such a fun, fresh and season-appropriate colour , however my only problem with it was the length of the skirt, which was too long for my personal liking, but I can get over that as everything else was jaw-droppingly-perfect!

As the second episode came, it brought with it an ill-tasting dress that I have no pleasant words in describing, except for its neckline and shape. which I found to be very flattering on the judge. 

The dress featured two ruffled flowers on one side and one on the opposite side, which are the reason I found the dress to be quite disappointing; I believe it would have definitely been more tolerable if all of the ruffled flowers were aligned on the same side. 

For the next episode which coincided with Valentine's day, Najwa wore this dreamy optic multi-coloured ripple jacquard number by Herve Leger. The sleeveless dress, which was from the brand's pre-spring 2015 collection, featured a crew neck opening and a body-con silhouette, which the brand is very much famous for. 

This was possibly my favourite outfit choice so far, however, I really was hoping for something more valentine-y like this, although Najwa Karam has the ability to put anyone in a romantic and loving mood with her presence, alone.

A breathtaking new haircut and outfit choice came along with the 4th live episode, which made this lady look like she was turning 29 and not 49.

The Roland Mouret figure-flattering one-shouldered wool-crepe gown featured a peplum waist, which accentuated and defined her waist and hips, and a folded detailing at the asymmetrical neckline.

It was simply a look sculptured to perfection.

The Lebanese songstress was the epitome of class and sophistication in this velvet Bassam Nehme gown for the 5th episode of the semi-finals. The silhouette-enhancing gown featured a cutout detail at the chest; a trend which we have been continuously seeing on runways for the past couple of years. This element essentially added to the femininity of the dress and set it apart.

The only aspect of the dress that I didn't find appealing was the bow at the waist, as otherwise, I thought it was a very tasteful choice.

 

 

 

Hand in hand with fellow judge, she steps out a Disney film, wearing a full-skirted ballerina dress with a mid-sleeved cutaway top. In all poise and effortlessness, she glides to the centre of the stage. The humble title of "Sun of the Song, Najwa Karam" is called out as apposed to her more formal title of 'Her Majesty, Queen of the Lebanese Republic' and she acknowledges the existence of the audience with a wave and a self-assured smile.

She sits down, back straight, and the camera zooms on her, she, the ever gracious and eternally ageless member of Lebanese royalty as she serves us an overwhelming amount of pearls, glitter, sequins, 2 shades of purple gemstones and 30 pounds of weave all at once.

 

Whew. Clearly a fan of the vibe it gave, I wasn't fond of the gown, although I did warm to it as the show went on. I believe it would have been made mile better without the cutaway top or without the sleeves at least, as although it balances out the shape and is in fact on trend, it was nothing like I had hoped.

Fashion on New Year's Eve 2014

As 2014 came to an end, apparently so did my time keeping. But I guess it's better late than never, right? So here goes...

 Happy New Year, everyone!

Every year, in the Arab regions of the Middle East and North Africa, the most highly anticipated concerts take place. I always anticipate what the female celebrities are going to opt for, and it wasn't a surprise or a change for any of them this year.
The following are a select few.



In no particular order, I'm going to start with my new found obsession; Myriam Fares, whose name has almost become a synonym with the Lebanese fashion designer, Rami Kadi.

Despite the simplicity of this custom-made dress, Myriam looked nothing short of flawless in it. The floor-grazing skirt flowed with a slight puff and the top part was a straight across silver bodice.
However what really attracted me to the look and almost every look seen on this beauty is the unique and luxurious jewellery that she matches with it. For me, Myriam Fares is the Queen of Accessories.
Follow her on Instagram and you'll understand!

Although this is nothing I would opt for myself, there is not doubt that Myriam Fares can look good in just about anything.






Next up, a lady who never fails to make an appearance in my articles, and can you blame me?
Najwa Karam proved why she was named a 'Fashion Icon' with this off-white form-fitting mermaid style gown, showcasing her hourglass figure. This is a style that I will never get tired of seeing on her, as she carries it with such poise, grace and supreme elegance.
The one-shouldered gown featured intricate symmetrical Swarovski crystal embellishments all throughout; the best choice for a New Year's party.

She accessorised it with simple bell-shaped earrings and a ring!








Representing a meringue, was Nawal El Zoghbi, wearing a ball gown style white dress designed by Zuhair Murad for the occasion. I found the top part of it to be very elegant, especially with the V neck opening and the silver belt, which gave the illusion of a slimmer waist, especially as it dramatically puffed out. Having said that however, I felt the dress was more fit for a wedding than a concert. Even the belt had 'wedding' written all over it.
I generally love to see silver, gold, white and anything sparkly being worn on a New Year's Eve party, but this dress was just the wrong shape.

Otherwise, I have been so impressed by Zoghbi's recent outfit choices, ever since 2014's Murex D'or Awards - or rather so impressed by Zuhair Murad's immaculate Fall 2014 Couture collection that it has become second nature.

Another star opting for Zuhair Murad but looking like a jewel, was Haifa Wehbe, who wore this silver silhouette-enhancing, form-fitting gown from the designer's Fall 2014 Couture collection, featuring long sleeves and an utterly mesmerising beaded silver body, which dispersed into transparency nearer the bottom of the dress. She obviously discarded the train that was originally attached to it via the belt, which she also discarded, and for me, this gave a whole new meaning to the dress. I definitely liked that she changed it from its original runway look to ensure individuality.

Where would we be without Zuhair Murad?

 

Looking like a Bohemian Princess was Sabine, wearing a greeny-gold embroidered long sleeved Fall 2014 Ready-to-Wear tulle dress designed by one of my favourite fashion designers; Emilio Pucci. However keeping the plunging V neck covered, she kept the high thigh slit which revealed her shapely legs and most importantly, her heels and I’m so glad she did because they deserve an article in their own right.

Personally, I think what this look lacked was the appropriate hairstyle to suit boho-inspired silhouette of the gown, or a belt added  to give a more hour-glass shape to suit the hairstyle she had.

Going back to black was Nancy Ajram who kept it simple and elegant in this backless black gown designed by Azzedine Alaia with a halter opening at the top, a slight but broad cinch around the waist and a slightly puffed skirt which all worked beautifully as it gave shape to her petite figure.

And when they said ‘It’s all in the details’ they weren’t lying, because the little bits of glitter on the second half definitely made a difference to the dress and added to its glamour factor.

Najwa Karam Australia Tour 2014

As every Najwa Karam tour commences, I get increasingly impatient since it’s never in London, but at the same time, increasingly eager to see what she will be wearing. My regularity, which is kind of unfortunate.

The sold out  tour kicked off in Sydney on November 14, and Miss Karam was the Lady in Red that night. The floor-grazing crepe dress featured a knee-slit at the front and a 3D flower/bow on the bodice. Essentially for me, this added an element of cuteness and it is what made this dress more interesting and appealing.

Najwa Karam went to the future with this trumpet-style silhouette enhancing dress with an open back for the second night. The autumn-appropriate colours of the dress were divided, where the bodice was black, partially-sheer and vertically lined. The burgundy areas were finely beaded into a symmetrical shape. I felt like the two colours together and the necklace-like beaded piece at the neck were relatively unpleasant, however.

The Queen continued to defy the laws of ageing as she looked like she belonged in a fairy-tale with this beautiful dress from Cristian Samfira's Luxury 2015 collection, and I don't think I can be anymore in love with it. The dress is immediately made elegant with the handmade painted flowers on either side, on top of black ruched illusion tulle. The gown also cinches in at the waist and flawlessly accentuates it, then mildly puffs out.
All hail Queen of Eternal Grace, Najwa Karam!

The fourth look was this midnight blue asymmetrical gown, which featured an over sized ruffled flower on the side, and a horizontally lined sheer organdy floor-grazing skirt. 
I was not particularly keen on the combination of these elements, especially the ruffled mess on the side, however the enchanting colour and the cinched in waist made up for the style and the shape.

Fashionalysed's Fashion Favourites - Beyonce

If you're going to run the world, you have to do it in style.

The following will be showcasing my favourite outfits worn by the diva, as a solo artist (because let's be honest, the outfits worn back in the Destiny's Child days were somewhat... questionable. Sorry Mama Tina!) as she continues to reinvent her self, to this day - in terms of style and music, as the two go hand in hand and influence one another. You just don't know what she's going to wear next, and that is what I love! 

**Order in year, not personal preference**

Academy Awards (2005)
Versace

 

I'm still struggling to keep my mouth shut at this - still - jaw dropping attire. 

This velvet vintage Versace gown, along with the Lorraine Schwartz jewellery screamed class and sophistication as Beyonce went for a classic Hollywood look. There is nothing that I don't completely love, especially the strapless opening of the dress, which further adds to the luxurious atmosphere that this black gown conveys.

Dreamgirls London Premiere (2007)

Elie Saab

All hail Queen of Eternal Grace: Beyonce, showcasing her curves and bringing glitz and glam to the London Premiere of Dreamgirls with this utterly mesmerising sequined dress by Elie Saab.

 

 

Grammy Awards (2008) 
Elie Saab

If I could, I would have included every Grammy Award outfit she's ever worn, because she simply does not know how to go wrong for the Grammys.

Intricately beautiful asymmetrical bodice and dripping metallic detailing... Need I say more?

Cadillac Records Premiere (2008)

Zuhair Murad

 

The Queen brought with her her ever present and famous curves at the Cadillac Records premiere with another Lebanese designer's creation; Zuhair Murad, and went back to black with this glorious floor-length gown, featuring a lace pattern overlay and glittering black sequin details.

Ultimate heart-eyes.

 

 

Golden Globes (2009)

Elie Saab

This divine diva looked like a sculpture as she graced the Golden Globe's red carpet back in 2009, wearing this ivory, silhouette-enhancing piece of complete perfection by Elie Saab, featuring intricate and beaded detailing.



'I am... World Tour' NY Screening (2010)
Naeem Khan

 

Going for a more casual look (than previous, at least), Beyonce opted for this eggplant beaded and patterned number by Naeem Khan. I think the yellows, purples, whites and black that are featured, along with the seemingly cinched waist go together so beautifully. Having said that, I think the pattern gives the illusion of a slightly wider figure, however, knowing Mrs Carter, it's probably exactly what she was aiming for!

BET Awards (2012)
Stephane Rolland

 

 

Beyonce stunned at the 2012 BET Awards, wearing this one-sleeve, silky chartreuse coloured gown, with a thigh-borderline-hip-high slit. It was styled with a metallic waist belt, that she actually wore upside down to how it was shown in the designer's Fall 2012 Couture runway.

 

 

'Life is But A Dream' NY Premiere (2013)

Elie Saab

 

 

Looking like a vision, Beyonce glided down the red carpet for the HBO Premiere of her documentary; 'Life is But a Dream' wearing this breathtaking greige couture gown designed by Elie Saab. The form-fitting gown featured embellished floral appliques and geometric see-through sections. 

I found it to be a little over-the-top for the occasion but I'm certainly not complaining! 

 

 

The Mrs Carter Show World Tour (2013)

Roberto Cavalli

Nobody's tour outfit(s) is on Beyoncé's level. She usually opts for daring choices as she transforms to her alter-egos on stage, and literally nothing compares to the fierce outfits that she chose for the "I Am... World Tour" that I could write a whole article in admiration of. For that reason, I have limited my Fashion Favourites choices to events other than tours.

Except, I have cheated here, because let's be honest, it doesn't look like her typical, leotard kind of choice... Which is probably the worst excuse I could have thought of, but basically, I couldn't resist.

This muslin-silk, burst of colour by Roberto Cavalli featuring gold barocco embroideries around the bodice and double thigh-high slits is absolutely breathtaking!

"BEYONCÉ" Album Screening & Release Party (2013)

Tom Ford

Video Music Awards (2014)

Zuhair Murad

One of my favourite things about such events, is seeing a change of dress and usually only one dress catches my eyes, or in some cases none. But not for Beyonce. This diva wore three outfits for the VMAs, and all of which were 100% on point.

The first was a beaded, skin-tight black gown that was partially sheer by Nicholas Gibran, which she accessorised with distractingly over-sized earrings, which completed the look for me. The second was a long sleeved leotard for the stage that was designed Tom ford, featuring a broken glass-like effect. The third, was another skin-tight choice, and it was so hard to decide my favourite, but I settled for this beautiful maroon gown by Zuhair Murad, which showcased her ***flawless curves beautifully and featured partially-sheer, beaded sections on either side as she proudly held her much deserved Awards.

(All of the dresses I've included are my personal favourites, there were so many more I wanted to add, but it would have took me forever, so these are just my top favourites up to now.)

Najwa Karam at World of Fashion 2014 Event Advertisement

If you think that I look for an excuse to make a post featuring Najwa Karam... you're probably right.
Since Najwa Karam has been named the guest of honour at the Harper's Bazaar World of Fashion 2014 event at the Mall of the Emirates in Dubai, it gives me the rightful excuse to write a post featuring the eternally graceful Queen of Fashion and Elegance.
After continuous success as a singer and now after three seasons as a judge on MBC's Arabs Got Talent, the diva has been increasingly recognised for her successful fashion choices and many would identify her as a modern day fashion icon.
"Najwa Karam is very well known. She captivates audiences with her presence, grace and style. She has made a strong name for herself in the Arab World as a singer, and we are very optimistic and very happy to collaborate with Najwa Karam this year... looking forward to the best outcome." - Hussain Moosa, Associate Director for Mall of the Emirates (Emirates 24/7). Ms Karam will be there at the fashion finale on the 22nd of October in a public Q&A with the attendees so save the date!
(and lets hope she will be revealing an album release date because the well-being of my ears depends on it).


(Event advertisement)

If we can all just remember the wise words of Karl Lagerfeld that said 'Think pink but don't wear it'... That's basically my outlook on this crepe dress by Roland Mouret. It was like they went overboard with the pink and accidentally spilled too much and it just became too concentrated for my taste. I thought the overall style of the dress was rather bland, except the off-the-shoulder silhouette which added to her femininity and saved the dress from completely burning.

Or maybe they should've let it burn.

I must have spent half an hour replaying and admiring the part where she gracefully twirls in this fringed wool-blend dress from Lanvin's Fall 2014 Ready-to-Wear collection when the video was first uploaded. 

The colour palette - which is completely suitable to the season - and gradient is so well put together in this dress and adds to the delicate movement fabricated by the varying sizes of the fringing. Something I would probably not opt for at first glance but works magic! 

I think this a-line dress from Gucci's Fall 2014 collection explains itself; bead embroidered silver bodice and rose gold sleeves on top of a silk cady top and a leather skirt. It has a perfect balance of simplicity and complexity. However, not suited for top-heavy type figures, as clearly, it highlights the top part of the body like encrusted diamonds.

When I named Najwa Karam the Queen of Fashion and Elegance, I obviously wasn't joking. 

Because last and certainly not least, this patterned gold dress from Jenny Packham's Fall 2014 collection looks so flattering and graceful and is beautifully fitted to the diva's figure, it was just different from all of the styles featured in the advertisement/photoshoot and without a doubt my favourite. Najwa gives this dress a whole new flavour and I love it!

I liked how there was a variety of designers featured and the dresses were all from their most recent collections (at the time of the shoot).

Like that wasn't enough to make me want to attend, the event will feature twenty catwalk shows throughout the two weeks, with high-street fashion brands including Kate Spade, Sandro, Juicy Couture, Karen Millen, Ted Baker, to name a few, and Harvey Nichols will also be there to open and close the event!
Lebanese make-up artist Bassam Fattouh will host a booth at the shopping centre for beauty advise and demos and free makeovers, as he shares his expertise with the attendees on the 21st!
Anyone got a spare plane ticket to Dubai!?




As always, thank you for reading.

Fashionalysed's Fashion Favourites - Elissa

If you've read my previous post, you will know that I have started a Fashion Favourites series of posts, showcasing my favourite dresses throughout the years, worn by the particular celebrity chosen - or breathtaking looks that I couldn't resist but to include, and since Elissa has just recently released her new album, Halet Hob, and since I've been so captivated by it, I thought who better to feature next other than Elissa! 

She is not only known for her romantic music and mesmerising voice, but also for her daring yet stylish fashion choices, whether it is for concerts, award shows/formal public appearances or music videos.

**Order in year worn, not personal preference**



Royal Albert Hall (2003)
Elie Saab Fall 2003 Couture

Elissa wore this dress at the Royal Albert Hall in London, 11 years ago, and it was like 'love at first sight' when I saw it. Mr Saab really worked his magic with this twinkling black dress, featuring embellishments in differing sizes, over the slight layer of tulle and nude bodice. The dress, which was from Elie Saab's Fall 2003 collection, has had some changes to from the original, but it made it all the better, and fitting to Elissa's personal style and preference.
I can't tell if it was her body or the dress that made her look this good, but whatever it is, it looks fabulous!

Also, may I just elaborate on the fact that her latest performance in London was 11 year ago, are we that bad of an audience that literally nobody returns?

(finding pictures from the early 2000's proved quite difficult, hence the poor quality)



'Irgaa Lel Shoua' Music Video 2004
Gucci

I would like to take this opportunity to express my endless love for this song, as I think this dress speaks for itself in all its gold sequin goodness.

Blast from the past

World Music Awards 2005

Michael Kors

 Ready-to-Wear Spring Summer 2005

This contributes to the cause of my degrading self-esteem.
 Aside from that, how completely and utterly beautiful is this dress? It almost reminds me of a sari in its tasteful, intricate detailing on the bodice of the dress, the slight slits just above the waist, and the effortless drape.
Also, that tan, is what my life lacks.

Layali Dubai 2005
Naji Hejali

Shape, colours, style, what is there not to love about this floor grazing gown? Nothing.

Mission Fashion 2008
Elie Saab 2008 Spring Couture

It doesn't take a lot of effort for me to love something designed by Elie Saab, who was clearly way ahead of the fashion game when designing this dress back in 2008. The beige gown featured a folded detail on the top of the dress, with divine silver embellishments all throughout, as it draped to the clouded floor like a dream,  

'Aa Bali Habibi' Music Video 2009
Elie Saab Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2010 

There is no other dress that takes me to a whole other world of enchantment as much as this one does. All the way from the top, where the creamy/nude embellishments are concentrated, to the middle as they begin to disperse in twig-like effects, as they lead to the most beautiful ending at the back with the huge-yet-just-right tail. I especially love the fact that it isn't actually a typical white wedding dress, but instead being slightly creamy/light nude coloured, which makes the embellishments standout slightly enough to make the dress look almost textured from within.

I simply cannot express my love for it enough!

Forget about being in a Situation of Love with a person, I'm in a Situation of Love with this dress! 

See the dress in action!

X Factor Arabia 2013

Elie Saab

The Diva looked like a Greek Goddess in this simple yet elegant white Elie Saab number, with loosely fitted sleeves and an opposing fitted bodice that draped off ever so gracefully. 

It made her body appear hour-glass shaped and ultimately free of any flaws. 

X Factor Arabia 2013

Marchesa

Elissa wore this form-fitting navy dress by Marchesa for one of the X Factor Arabia episodes. The dress featured a transparent crystallized veil-like tulle decoration attached to the top of the dress, where it is slightly longer than the dress at the back and waist length at the front.

A definite favourite!

'Te'ebt Mennak' Video Clip 2013

Tom Ford Fall 2012

One of my favourite looks from the Te'ebt Mennak music video - the other so happens to be an open back as well - the Lebanese songstress looked alluring in this Tom Ford fall 2012 red dress, with the signature shoulder to hip zipper detailing. The dress is plain red at the front, with a slight section of the zipper showing at the hip. 

This dress appears to be especially popular between the stars, as the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lawrence - to name just a few - have previously worn it in different colours.

The only thing that I will criticise in regards to this dress, is the wide open back section, which in effect widens the back, however, the second open back dress worn in the video featured a long open back, which, in contrast to this one, elongates and makes the back appear thinner.

More video clip goodness 

Front Row at Elie Saab Fall 2014

Elissa is known for supporting Elie Saab; whether it's by the wear of his garments, by being at his fashion shows, or both in this case!
