Day 3:Muscat Fashion Week 2013 - Endemage


Oman-based Endemage’s east-meets-west collection, a labour of love founded in 2010 by sisters Lubna and Nadia, perfectly encapsulates the meaning of its name; ‘the merging of two.’ A vision for many years, the label finally became a reality following Lubna’s graduation from fashion institute ESMOD Dubai.

Muscat Fashion Week 2013. Zhor Rais


The kaftan is always at the centre of Zhor’s collections; she finds the juxtaposition of the sensual yet conservative silhouette fascinating. The fact that it skims, suggests yet never reveals. Her innately Moroccan pieces highlight the craftsmen of her country, yet use their skills to fashion a collection that is thoroughly contemporary.

Muscat Fashion Week 2013

The venue for Muscat Fashion Week is now official - for the 3rd year MFW will take place in the beautiful settings of Riyam Park.

One of the Ad Campaigns was designed by Nawal Al Hooti


Who wore it best?

Najwa Karam or Jennifer Lopez?



Sometimes when it comes to wearing the same dress,it always looks a bit better on one person.
Najwa Karam wore this emboridered gown by Zuhair Murad on 2012. and jenifer lopez 

wore it on the redcarpet at the golden globes 2013. It looks very similar but a few 

changes with the color.


Who wore it best?

My vote goes to Najwa karam for sure. it gave her body a vaavaavoom shape,unlike Jlo.
