Anyway enough of me babbling on and on... I leave you all with a preview of Omar's new collection and the history behind it. In case you want to see his other collection I leave you guys with a link here.
‘’ Madama Butterfly’’
For his 7th season showing at London Fashion Week, Omar
took us on a journey to the Golden Age of the Opera, titled after David
Belasco's hit play ‘Madama Butterfly’ staged in London in 1900. This play has
two characters, the teenage Butterfly (Cio-Cio-San) who falls in love with an
American naval lieutenant in Nagasaki.
He abandons her, and then returns with a wife. After a first-night disaster, it
became one of the best-loved operas.
Omar collected visions of the opulent lyrics of the
opera, along its arias, duets, trios, and choruses, and transformed them into
his collection for Spring/Summer 2014
Omar’s
collection consists mainly of the two colours, royal blue and black.
The royal blue
colour depicts the merry days when the couple is together while black represent
the gloom in the story. The collection consisted of multiple silhouettes from
sleek gowns trimmed with satin to dresses embellished with filigree embroidery
and sequins as
a synthesis of fashion and art.
