Fifty
One East recently hosted a three-day trunk show for the acclaimed
Lebanese-Italian designer, Tony Ward, for his new Spring/Summer Haute
Couture collection - Fractals - and Bridal Fall 2018 collection - La
Mariée.
The luxury department store presented Ward’s new season
collections for the first time in the Middle East, directly after Paris
Haute Couture Week 2018, it said in a press statement.
The designer
is revered for his tribute to women and their femininity, with the taste
and distinctive charm of timeless style. His creations are popular with
not only the world’s most astute fashionistas, but also international
actresses, models and singers, including Julie Bowen, Aubrey Plaza,
Ahlam, Elissa and Myriam Fares, among others.
Fractals, his new
season collection, reflects the “chaotic pattern that is found
everywhere around, with shapes that are infinitely complex and originate
from chaotic mathematical equations, driven by recursion. Following the
same chaos, these patterns are replicated on the dresses; each
repetition creating random, unique and beautiful outlines that are
similar to the initial shape, yet presented by a multitude of
infinitesimal differences”, the statement explains.
These patterns
continue to be handcrafted on dresses made of lace, organza, embroidered
tulle and laser-cut satin. The colours range from rose, lilac and light
green to greige and cream, giving a “light and delicate summery feeling
to the collection.” The patterns on the garments, along with the
juxtaposition of strong and soft volumes, add a touch of “unusual and
offset beauty to the collection”.
Prêt-à-couture wedding dresses were
also presented during the trunk show at Fifty One East. The dresses
were created using delicate materials such as lace, silk, organza and
tulle, and were embellished with meticulous hand-made embroideries,
subtle romantic patchworks and 3D flowers. “Through flawless volumes and
meticulous detailing, the gowns unveil the femininity of a Tony Ward
bride,” the
statement added.
Tony Ward is available exclusively in Qatar at Fifty One East located at Lagoona Mall.
