Day 2: Muscat Fashion Week 2013 - Dibaj

Oman-based Dibaj, the brainchild of sisters Afaf and Aida al Farsi. The dynamic duo’s international upbringing- thanks to the travels of their diplomat father- is reflected in their label which draws inspiration from a variety of cultures yet remains true to their Omani roots. 

Day 2: Muscat Fashion Week 2013 -Razan Alazzouni

Saudi Arabia-based Razan’s immersion in the artistic realm since her childhood; from sculpture, paper-making and screen-printing to fashion has resulted in a unique creative aesthetic. Her catwalk collections echo her fine art roots; silhouettes are spectacularly sculptural yet deeply feminine. 

This picture is probably one of my favs that i've taken from the iphone ! to the point that Razan Alazzouni herself,profile pictured this as the facebook page of the her brand's page ;)
