Tena Durrani

The Debut is Tena Durrani’s take of a surreal garden of Eden, portraying the female form in the epitome of romanticism. The collection illustrated the designers love for defined artworks translated using signature embellishments and a subtle balance of print, draping and texture. We fell in love with her structured all grey ensemble featuring an edgy crop top and bold draped pencil pants! A fashion front runner in our eyes- Tena Durrani’s collection was simple, bold and sophisticated.

Areej Iqbal from Bank AlFalah Rising Talent

Deriving designs from her final year thesis- Areej Iqbal’s collection was based on music and how she imagined it in her mind. The collection was inspired by the different elements used in music including sheet music, beats and variations. Colors were also selected accordingly, namely black, off white, pastel pinks and shades of teal. A beautiful minimalist line- the young designer fashioned one of a kind looks; rendering this collection a total hit in our books!
