Designer, Fadwa Baruni, draws inspiration for her collections through influences from the structured world of engineering, working in Europe and her North African heritage. Trained, in art and fashion design, at Edinburgh College of Art and other colleges in Scotland, Fadwa combines strong fashion sensibilities with her earlier training in engineering to design a new Autumn/Winter 2016 collection that displays sophisticated, clean lines and sharp tailoring, all constructed for ease and fit. Over the years Fadwa has developed a clear understanding and been strongly influenced by the regional and local cultural influences, as well as the colours and textures of nature to develop a signature style for the Baruni Collection.

The autumn/winter 2016 collection is influenced by the iconic timelessness of the calla lily.  Baruni utilises themes to bring her collections to life, she used the iconic flower as the main source of creativity. It can be found in every aspect of the design process from the fabric selection to the cuts and overall mood of the collection. The designer took her design process one step further and developed a selection of customised prints to reflect her inspiration.

Texture played a key role in evoking the spirit in the timeless nature of the calla lily. Throughout the collection delicate lace and silks can be seen emphasising the touches of femininity, while jacquard brought structure and strength to the looks. The colour palette for the season saw, deep purple and red hues that complimented the neutral tones of off-white and black adding depth to each piece of the collection.  The collection has a fusion of asymmetrical hemlines and exotic detailing like the classic A-line silhouettes.

The collection is in stores now at Salam stores, Etre Luxury Stores, 51 East, House of Fraser, Incanto Boutique, Professionelle Boutique and Valley Dez.
