The Emirati label Kanzi will showcase a fairytale-themed collection at Dubai Fashion Week at 8.30pm on Monday.

A line of abayas, jalabiyas and evening wear, the collection was designed with immaculate tailoring, whimsical shapes, stunning beading and embroidery, and each individual piece is lovingly and painstakingly handcrafted, says Kanzi’s Raghda Taryam.

“This season we have used a vibrant colour pallet and exotic array of materials including silk, chiffon and organza,” says Taryam. “All the items have been created in such a way that they will allow the wearer to obtain a feeling of optimism, which is always captivating.”

The name, “Fairytales”, comes from the thoughts and images conjured up when the collection is seen in entirety.

The collection seeks to explore in detail the concept of dreams, with each piece set to appear like a floating, stunningly crafted experiment that merges unique shapes and forms.

Translating from the Arabic as “my treasure”, Kanzi was established last year under Ruwad, a government entity that supports young businesses in the Sharjah. The label retails from the Kanzi boutique in Sharjah and Saks 5th Avenue stores in Dubai and Bahrain.

Dubai Fashion Week runs until October 29 at the InterContinental Dubai Festival City.
