Omar Mansoor’s sixth London Fashion Week collection has taken an unexpected turn from glamorous elegant ball gowns and immersed himself into the boho aesthetic of East London. Inspired by the Shoreditch style, this collection lends itself to the most wearable of his work to date. After being predominantly known for the design of extravagant ball gowns, he turns his talent to casual wear, working in his usual exaggerated over-embellishment into this collection with ease.
Layering intricate lace work and fine knitwear, Omar always keeps immaculate attention to detail. Opting for a modern vintage colour palette derived from urban London, the collection uses the clutter of East London and the culture it is home to as the core stimulus. Omar has explored new fabrics creating show-stopping fluid silhouettes, complimenting the womanly figure. Taking inspiration from the creative hub of Shoreditch, this collection adds a new dimension to his brand, adopting the innovative medium of the casual-couture style.
Having made bespoke pieces for Middle Eastern Royals, Sheikha Moza for one even to Katie Price; its clear Omar is able to target all markets and has successfully delved into the world of ready-to-wear.
