One of the most talked about up-and-coming designers from the Middle East is Mohammed Ashi a young fashion designer from Saudi Arabia, based in Beirut, Lebanon Ashi has been making waves in the regional fashion world with aspirations and enough talent to crossover to the global fashion world of haute couture and prêt-à-porter. Ashi started, a series of collections that fallows no pattern in terms of time and they are more capsule collections with different themes and exclusive limited pieces. His last collection was a series of exotic and modern kaftans.
What I like most about Ashi's collections are the muted colours he uses to soften his looks and add a romantic edge to it, as well as the waterfall style cut of the dresses and skirts. I love the combination of black and white used for Eva Longoria's latest Grammy Awards look , which adds a classic touch to it and particularly the cut of the bottom of the dress. This designer is definately one to watch.
