Endemage
Designers, Lubna and Nadia Al Zakwani, draw inspiration from their heritage and experiences, often referencing the shapes of date palms in their designs. Crafted in tulle, chiffon, crepe and organza, the collection itself has a light and airy quality that gives it a romantic mood. The soft colour palette comes to life in the lightweight, translucent fabrics and the overlapping silhouettes mimic the criss-crossing branches of date palm.
