For the first time in Egypt, Walk of Cairo welcomes famed Lebanese fashion designer Rami Kady to present a dazzling fashion show on the 26th of May.
The fashion show will be in celebration of Rami Kadi Maison de Couture’s tenth anniversary, where he’ll be showcasing his latest SS21 collection, “Retrospective 10.”
Moreover, five exclusive designs for “Walk of Cairo” and a group of distinguished dresses from the Winter and Fall 2021 collection entitled “Dessiner le Vide” will be at the show.
Additionally, an exhibition featuring iconic moments and designs by Rami Kadi will be available in Walk of Cairo.
The fashion show will be styled by Egypt’s very own Yasmine Eissa, whose work appeared on top celebrities on regional and international levels.
Rami Kadi Couture Spring-Summer 2021 Collection “Retrospective 10” Focuses on the ten-year journey and the impact that some of his most iconic work has had.
Unlike his usual chromatic boldness looks that usually typifies Rami Kadi Maison de Couture, “Retrospective 10” includes metallic colors such as gold, silver, platinum, and bronze.
The designs express an expedition within Rami Kadi’s archives to reveal his work over ten years.
The collection relies on two main criteria: distinctiveness and promotion.
The distinctive character refers to a dress that can be easily identified with the nature of Rami Kadi’s designs, whether in cutting, embroidery, or processing.
