There’s nothing that screams summer more to me than floaty dresses and leather sandals. So when I was introduced to Qatar based designer Hissa Zainal’s new collection, I was immediately taken back to a sunny day in Europe last summer, watching the world go by from a small cafe in France.
HZ by Hissa Zainal is a ready to wear label and the brainchild of Hissa Zainal, a young and creative Qatari who’s also an award wining fashion designer. Since the release of her debut collection, Prologue, Hissa’s work has been featured in fashion magazines across the region and we can see why!
HZ by Hissa Zainal is a resort collection for SS17 inspired by the warmth of the sun, the salty ocean breeze and fragrant vivid blooms, combining fresh tones with relaxed silhouettes, creating a fun and feminine aesthetic.
Fabrics are light and feature a mixture of cotton and denim, which is perfect for those long hazy evenings. The collection is made of embroidered sheer overlays, featuring statement cutouts and ruffled sleeves add a very dreamy feel. Embroidered flowers, hand illustrated by Hissa Zainal add a beautifully detailed touch to the dresses too.
See what I mean…
