DUBAI: It’s been an eventful weekend for Saudi-helmed label Ashi Studio, which received a shout out from US actress Kat Graham on Instagram and was donned by Moroccan-Canadian singer Faouzia in her new music video with John Legend.
Known for its celebrity-loved looks — the label has been worn by the likes of Bollywood star Deepika Padukone, British singer Ellie Goulding and Australian icon Kylie Minogue — Mohammed Ashi’s fashion house received the nod of approval from US actress Kat Graham on Instagram on Friday.
“Thank you @Ashistudio for my jammies and congrats on another beautiful collection!” Graham posted on Instagram Stories, alongside a shot of her artfully posed in the label’s chic loungewear. Graham, who starred in supernatural drama series “The Vampire Diaries,” then shared a throwback video of a dress fitting in Paris in 2020 in which she can be seen wearing a voluminous white gown complete with an exaggerated train and an off-the-shoulder neckline by the Saudi designer.

The Beirut-based fashion house launched its line of luxury loungewear in 2020, keeping in line with the need for chic but comfortable clothes as much of the world continues to remain at home during the COVID-19 pandemic. The collection features fabrics such as pure silk and cashmere that can be worn both indoors and outdoors, and offers fashion lovers coordinating sets as well as long silk robes.
For her part, Graham showed off a cream colored ensemble complete with ribbed cuffs, hems and lapels.
Singer Faouzia showed off a more tailored look by the designer in her latest music video — a duet with US singer John Legend.
The ethereal video for “Minefields” sees the Moroccan-Canadian singer wearing an eye-catching shirt-and-skirt set by Ashi Studio. In the video, the pair perform in an open field, with Legend crooning while playing a piano and Faouzia singing while walking though wheat-colored undergrowth.
“It symbolizes both the emotional and literal challenges that we go through to be with and support those around us,” Faouzia said of the song and video, according to Vogue Arabia. “I hope that viewers will feel hopeful and remember that things will always get better.”
The singer paired the billowing ensemble, with its rouched cuffs and oversized lapels, with romantic hair and pearl drop earrings.
