Reem Acra F/W16 was a master class in feminine sensuality. The Secret World of The Femme Fatale gave us an ultra glamorous woman, bedecked in lace, jewels, silk and chiffon, and shrouded in mystery.
Grounded in a neutral palette of black lace, the collection presented a stream of show stopping gowns in lavender, citrine, canary, bordeaux and crimson. Fringe was used with great effect on four looks confirming the notion that the Acra woman is stunning when stationary, otherworldly when in motion. Each piece was truly a work of art, as evidenced in the intricate beaded embroidery, illusion necklines, sheer insets and embellishments.
Every aspect of the show reinforced this sensuous femininity of the femme fatale. From the black lacquered runway to the studded gladiator sandals and lace fingerless gloves, the audience looked on with curiosity and envy at this power. Standouts included an embroidered gunmetal corset dress with steel blue skirt – a look fit for royalty – and a black beaded dress with an illusion neckline and citrine underlay. From the front to the back, each look delighted from all angles, captivating the viewer with what seemed like infinate ornate intricacies.
Reem Acra delivered her signature ethereal quality for F/W16. In a word. Breathtaking.
