Fifty One East has hosted a two-day trunk show featuring the AW19/20 Haute Couture and bridal collections of the eminent Azzi & Osta in the presence of the designers themselves. 
The show ran on September 14 and 15, and was attended by VIP and fashion enthusiasts in Fifty One East at Lagoona Mall. The latest creations of Azzi & Osta “were inspired by the golden age of couture of the 1950s, producing a collection that weaves together vintage allure and modern glamour to captivate audiences”, according to a press statement.
Azzi & Osta’s signature sculpted silhouettes feature “concave waistlines, elegantly manipulated in noble Silk Moire and Double Satin Duchesse, reminiscent of the structured couture fabrics of the ‘50s juxtaposed with exquisite ‘point d’esprit’, tulle and lace craftsmanship that capture a lightness of motion”. 
“Imitating the romanticism of Penn’s still life images, the palette for this collection is inspired by delicious floral notes; Rose pink, deep Orchid, crimson red, Gardenia, Pastel Lavender, grey Lilac and green Lily with the mesmerising Tulip sorbet featuring as the embroidery motif,” the statement notes. Azzi & Osta is a Beyrouth-based couture house founded by the designer-duo George Azzi and Assaad Osta. Enriched by their experience and training with Elie Saab himself, they set out to create the Azzi & Osta couture house in 2010. 
Their signature style was then quickly established; a style highlighted with its challenging conceptual volumes that are vintage at their soul. Azzi & Osta creates unique, elegant and eclectic couture pieces for the modern stylish woman, the statement adds.
Azzi & Osta’s collections are exclusively available in Qatar at Fifty One East, Lagoona Mall.
