So, let’s see what is crucial in this journey and what designers should take into consideration.

Fashion history taught us that every period has its signature looks. Designers of different epochs created pieces of clothing, shoes and accessories that still come back as fashion trends.

Their old traditions and religion go hand in hand with today’s modernity full of technological advantage. Simply said, middle-eastern society is young, rich and fabulous in a way that embraces their culture, religion and present.
