Lebanese designer Reem Acra decided to recount her life with the Reem Acra S/S '16 collection. This spring collection details Acra's past and present through 45 looks of decorative Middle Eastern couture.
Vivid, glamorous and highly ornamental, the Reem Acra S/S '16 collection is made of dresses with the occasional skirt and top. Middle Eastern beading is seen on accessories as well as short dresses while exotic floral print is also present. Just like the prints and patterning, the materials used in this collection are very eye-catching. Tulle overlay is used to delicately coat the shoulders while chiffon is seen in an array of colors from a midnight blue to a light gold.
If fashion fans are to take away one thing from this collection it is that Reem Acra has lead a very beautiful life.
