Syrian designer, Rami Al Ali, looked to the historic beauty of the Angel artwork by Abbot Handerson Thayer to provide a synthesis of innocence, technique, and grandeur in his Fall 2017 couture collection.
Set at the Hotel Ritz Paris, the collection showcased an array of artistic composition of visual elements. The couturier looked to the wings of an angel as the symbol, conveying the embodiments of feminine virtue and aesthetic splendour, illuminating both power and delicacy as symbolised by an angel.
To imitate the feather like layers of wings, luxurious fabrics were gathered together in an array of structured and softer lines with tulle, organza, piqué and gazar. Shades of geranium and claret red dominate the darker shades of the colour palette, whilst mauve morn, blush and silver pink comprise the lighter hues, for a striking contrast, and hand-crafted embellishments adorn the pieces; implementing understated feminine charm and powerful composure.
