Saiid Kobaissy Couture A/W 2024-25 Collection

“Echoes of the Past, Grace of the Future “

The splendor of the past meets contemporary allure in the most stunning artistic visions by Saiid Kobeisy. Saiid Kobeisy skillfully encapsulates time and bridges the distances between Eastern civilizations, manifesting them in the haute couture collection designs for the Fall-Winter 2024-2025 season, inspired by the legacy of the Minoan civilization. Emerging around 2500 BCE in the eastern Mediterranean islands, the Minoan civilization gained its artistic reputation through cultural exchanges with Mediterranean cities, blending Eastern and Western visions of grandeur and fluidity. Saiid Kobeisy reflects this in 24 enchanting designs, all characterized by elegance and modern impressions. The cuts feature two primary qualities: the grandeur that represents a heritage of elegance and majesty, and the fluidity that adds a contemporary vision, allowing for movement without losing their charm, accentuated by openings at the chest, back, or shoulders. This gives women an extraordinary appearance. The choice of fabrics in the collection enhances both the delicate and opulent aspects. Fabrics such as taffeta and satin enhance the grace and fluidity of the designs, while crepe and tulle contribute to their innovation and distinction with their pliability. Organza, on the other hand, adds volume, reinforcing the majestic design inspired by a legacy of strength and unique elegance. Despite these imperial impressions, the modernity of the collection lies in the innovative techniques employed by Saiid Kobeisy, such as 3D organza layers, fabric shaping, and voluminous shadows. Embroidery plays a crucial role in forming a unique identity for the designs, achieving a convergence of past and future, tradition and modernity. This ability to unify variables is also evident in the colors, which highlight both elegance and delicacy. Inspired by the Minoan era, the colors are vibrant, including green, purple-red, turquoise blue, beige, gold, and black, reflecting the grandeur and magnificence of this ancient civilization. Saiid Kobeisy concludes the collection with a breathtaking wedding dress that embodies elegance and sophistication simultaneously. Through an innovative design and attention to detail, this dress serves as a tribute to the legacy of eternal love, celebration, and joy that transcends time.
