DUBAI: Saudi designer Mohammed Ashi, founder of Paris-based label Ashi Studio, and Syrian designer Rami Al-Ali showcased their newest collections this week in Paris.
Ashi’s new collection is called “Moon and Dust.”
The creations include glitzy gowns that mirror the sparkling night sky. Some of his new ensembles had voluminous, structured fabric around the waist and shoulders.
The dresses came in white, beige and black hues.
He treated fans who were not able to attend the presentation to a 14-minute video of the show published on his website.
CEO of the Fashion Commission Burak Cakmak said in a released statement: “Mohammed Ashi is a leader of Saudi fashion and his creative force has made an invaluable contribution to Saudi’s fashion zeitgeist as the country undergoes a cultural transformation.”
“Projected to grow to more than $32bn by 2025, Saudi’s fashion scene is being led by local brands and emerging designers,” he added. “We are proud to support Ashi’s Paris show, and continue to support Saudi designers having launched the second edition of the Saudi 100 Brands mentorship program in 2022.”
