Nolcha Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2013: M.N ALOUSH

When the first model of a show emerges wearing a Catwoman mask, you immediately know you are about to witness something amazing.

Daring, sexy creations surfaced onto the runway … Continue reading Nolcha Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2013: M.N ALOUSH

The show opened with playful patterns, and slowly transitioned to a more subdued style. The incorporation of cut-out leather in bold colors amplified what would otherwise be monotone, black clothing. Though a little rebellious, the leather somehow managed to … Continue reading Nolcha Fashion Week: Angelys Balek
