Fashion International, London Fashion Week AW16 ~ Omar Mansoor

Another year, another season - and yet another memorable, exquisite collection by Omar Mansoor debuted at Fashion International!

Omar Mansoor's 11th collection at LFW and yet his designs still leave you in awe with the story they tell.

This LFW, Omar's AW16 collection - “L’art Vivante” (Living work of art) was inspired by an Italian heiress, muse, and patroness of the arts in early 20th-century Europe, Marchesa Casati. She was known for her eccentricities.

"A celebrity and femme fatale, the Marchesa's famous eccentricities dominated and delighted European society for nearly three decades. 

As the concept of dandy was expanded to include women, Marchesa Casati fitted the utmost female example by saying: 

"I want to be a living work of art"."

From the beautiful, extravagant Venetian masks to the lavish silks. These were qualities that were admirable and made a statement. Oh, so splendour! 

The colour palette was quite earthy and neutral, the cuts were varied and there was selected, lovely embellishment. 

Here are all the beautiful pieces straight from the runway of Fashion International. Enjoy!

Closing his collection with a beautiful deep V, long-length Venetian-style dress. Stunning!
