Rami Al Ali unveils his spring/summer 2022Ready to Wear collection that pays homage to the famed English painter, Albert Joseph Moore.

The25-piece collection adopts the same ideals depicted in Moore’s work, highlighting a harmonious relationship between shape and colour.

Known for his portrayals of languorous female figures pictured against ornate backdrops, Moore’swork evokes a dream-like element that is inherent in Al Ali’s designs. Weightless fabrics such as tulle and chiffon fuel afantasy to create a romanticism that can be felt throughout the collection. Powerful drapery and sensual silhouettes are designed tofloatagainst the body, adding a touch of whimsy to the lineup.While notable architectural nods provide the modern twistsynonymous with the house.

The collectionhas an eclectic medley of feminine detailsthat include billowing skirts, cascading ruffles, and sculptural bows. Long, floor-grazing gowns are interspersed with playful, tea-length mini dresses and sharply tailored jumpsuits.Strong architectural shapes beautifully enhance female form, while reiterations of popular archived silhouettes add a sense of familiarity.Using the same decorative approach that Moore uses on his classical subjects, Al Aliconveys through hispenchant for detail. Embroidery is elegantly feminine, with romantic floral motifs hand-stitched in decorative detail. Ornate beading and intricate lace play an integral role in the collection’s makeup, speaking to the feminine codes of the house.Bearing all the hallmarks of asignature couture design, each look offers the same level of focus to detailed handwork to ensure a luxurious feel.

The level of embellishment contrasts between more muted stylesin the form of sleek column dresses to densely decorated caped gowns. The colour palette remains both fresh and serene, embracingvivid hues in shades of peach, pink, baby blue, and lime, with thoughtful touches of gold working to elevate designs.
