Paris, France - The word “delicate” is the all-important adjective that describes and defines the look of the new collection by the Egyptian designer, Marie Bishara. The designer in a follow-up to her warmly received Spring/Summer 2009 debut collection in Paris, chose the Carousel du Louvre for the unveiling of her latest collection.
This new Fall Winter 2009/2010 collection is less couture and more ready-to-wear when compared to Bishara’s spring collection. She has focused on natural colours worn effortlessly during the day and then again in the evening with the right accents of jewellery.
Embroideries are one of the defining elements of Bishara’s work. Hers are especially handmade in her own ateliers situated in southern Egypt. They are very different from what we are used to seeing as they are created from various natural and hard elements sucd as wood-like in appearance piees.
We do see bursts of colour in the collection with her red leather skirt worn with a Bordeaux blouse with hand crystal embroideries. The skirts are youthful with their wallet form and little belt and small coats. The brown leather ensemble composed of a skirt dress with the top being in tulle is accessorized with a matching coat with embroideries replicated on the skirt.
The limited flaw in the collection is found in the shoulder work in certain of the more structured silhouettes. Certain pieces such as the jackets reveal slight flaws in technique. However, this does not prevent the designer from confirming her place on the catwalks of Europe.
Bishara’s clear strength is cocktail wear. This was established with her Spring 2009 collection and confirmed in this new collection. She has created a delicious little A line cocktail dress with gold embroideries and a simple black satin T-shirt cocktail dress l dress with draped and embroidered front. Bishara decided to close out the show with a gorgeous, long A-line evening gown. The neck and shoulders are traced in large, round black jet stones.
