Select designers from the Middle East frequently host temporary trunk shows on Moda Operandi, and the luxury-fashion shopping site has just signed on some new brands from the region.
Usually, the online trunk shows are only open for a short period of time, during which customers can pre-order pieces from a designer, give a 50 per cent deposit, and expect delivery in a few months, giving them early access to next-season pieces. The rest of the website however, acts as a normal fashion e-tailer, where customers can place immediate orders and receive their deliveries within a week.
The Middle Eastern designers who have just landed on the site are Dubai-based L'Afshar and Saudi Arabian designers Razan Alazzouni and Wadha Al Hajri. L'Afshar is now known internationally for her bold acrylic box clutches, which have been carried by celebrities including Kendall Jenner. Razan Alazzouni has a penchant for creating feminine pieces with a strikingly bold, elegant flair, and Wadha Al Hajri's pieces feature silhouettes that combine structure with volume in a powerful way.
Shop the new designers' trunk shows for a limited time only at www.modaoperandi.com.
