Persia has long been known as a fount of beautiful and legendary carpets, where each piece reveals a divine story of romance, mystery and heroism. This season the Rami Al Ali woman is as royal and enchanting as a Persian Princess, wrapped in intricate details that, like a Persian carpet, express vigor and majesty, for his Autumn Winter 2010/2011 collection.

The concept behind the collection is to recreate opulence, intense work of art in each gown to accentuate the female structure with high waits and slight off the shoulder necklines, symmetrical with the dress and cinched bodices that exude a woman’s most feminine features, gradually moving from bigger to smaller details, and vice versa.  The designer focused on weaving, knotting and exceptional thread work. The weaving was made of fabric draping, with other gowns having the knot as the core of the whole design. Treating fabric to construct depth into structure with multi-layered chiffon skirts, or stripes of silk or even velvet patches on chiffon; clearly depicted through bias, slanting, and godet cuts.

The indulgent shades of chiffon, silk and velvet are complimented with beaded motifs, and grand patterns reminiscent of the intricacies of the finest ancient Persian art, used to create a matte effect on the structure of the dress. The print was inspired from original antique carpet designs formed by Rami to correspond to the woman’s figure.

The champagne, gold and platinum silks are like an impression, resembling that of Khorshid Khanoom – the haloed icon of beauty present in many Persian pieces of art.

Extravagant shades of dark green, brown, charcoal blue, dark slate grey, pale vintage ink, black, and some fabrics with gold or silver shimmer captivates the mind on the onlooker with their luxurious long lasting effect.

The collection consists of 35 pieces complimented with breath taking off-white, Persian inspired wedding gown of lace with matte sequins work covered with fully crystallized coat.

The attractive work of weaving, the intense colors and the strong design has all stimulated the ingenuity sense of the designer Rami Al Ali and landed him among a plethora of diverse cuts, deep colors, rich details, elegant fabrics, and an amazing artistic insight with passion for details! Rami Al Ali’s “Persian Princess” came with gowns of amazing glamour, weaved with fingers of gold, each to disclose its own tale of art and culture!

The show is taking place at the Baglivi hall- Santo Spirito in Sassia, Borgo Santo Spirito Roma – Italia, on the calendar of Alta Roma fashion week.
