SUKEINA the bright light we all need at this present time. A work of art with fabric as the medium. It is the kind of art that would be displayed at the Metropolitan Museum in New York, or the National Gallery in London, if exquisite clothing pieces were being exhibited. Providing a transformative and cultural experience, SUKEINA is among the best of fashion houses.
The brands first ready to wear collection appropriately titled Grace, explores the combination of adornment and functionality. Silhouettes worthy of sculptural admiration, borrowing from sportswear and infused with luxury. Embracing the merging of professional life and leisure time. All 48 pieces would be an appropriate installation to any expedition. Constructed in subdued tones expected for the months reserved for layering. Colors comparable to the shedding of old found in fall foliage, yet including bursts of happier tones such as pink, red, and gold. Most noteworthy pieces are jackets resembling a reverse tailored collar closer to the hem. They leave little to the imagination, or none at all, with completely sheer bodice dresses and tulle skirts. I envision this imaginary art presentation ending with the climactic impressionism of origami style fabrications. A recurring theme, now a signature to the brand’s esthetic.
Founder and Creative Director Omar Salam has a knack for infusing his unique worldview into his designs. Born in Nice, France and spending his youth traveling through Europe before studying at Parsons. All these experiences have provided him the ability to perfect the art of telling vibrant stories through fashion. His design aesthetic of creating powerful while elegant pieces, has gained him notable brand recognition throughout the industry.
