Syrian-born couturier Rami Al-Ali presented his ninth ready-to-wear collection during Paris Fashion Week. Featuring 26 looks, the bold offering was a striking homage to the glamour of the 1980s. Here are the standout looks inspired by the era's bold style, daring colors and exaggerated silhouettes from the Dubai-based label’s Fall 2020 collection.
Va va voom shoulders
Exaggerated, angular shoulders brought the best of the era’s structural silhouettes into the 21st century.
Bow down
For a feminine touch, the Dubai-based womenswear designer incorporated flourishing side-bows into the sleek designs.
Tassel takeover
Color-blocking tassels in vibrant shades of raspberry, lime and turquoise were a playful addition to this daring evening gown.
Vibrant color palette
The offering featured a colorful selection of ruffled tops, fitted skirts and glamorous gowns that will no doubt find favor in Al-Ali’s A-list fans, including Jennifer Lopez and Helen Mirren, on next season’s red carpets.
Dose of drama
Glamorous evening dresses were skillfully reimagined with contemporary tailoring. A good example was this green, strapless dress that featured a beaded tulle overlay across the front.
Bead up
The collection is dripping in all-out glamour thanks to the incorporation of detailed beadwork on luxe fabrics such as silk organza, crepe and satin mikado.
