If there's a summertime wedding you've been invited to next year, or you simply want to get a head start on sourcing dresses for future festive seasons, you may be enticed by Rami Al Ali's latest offerings.
The Syrian designer has partnered with luxury online retailer Moda Operandi for the second season in a row, giving clients the opportunity to pre-order pieces from his upcoming spring/summer 2017 collection, which won't hit stores for another six months.
Al Ali embraces femininity with a luxurious charm through his use of satin, jacquard and lace textiles, and tops them off with intricate beadwork and embroidery. The dresses are decadent and alluring, exemplifying a modern-day fairy tale. They range in style from strapless ball gowns to floor-length lace designs — there are even a couple of kaftans in the collection.
The spring/summer 2017 prêt-à-porter collection is available for pre-order on Modaoperandi.com until September 2.
