The Kalyah Spring/Summer 2018 collection is a contemporary take on classic, Middle Eastern silhouettes and is the latest offering from designer Nora Aldamer. The Middle Eastern designer creates a set of comfortable, feminine and effortlessly chic pieces that range from maxi dresses to sleepwear-inspired separates.
The collection's other standout pieces are loose-fitting tunics and layered dresses that are reminiscent of workwear overalls. While the workwear silhouette is used for inspiration, Kalyah's interpretation is kept light in its material, appearing semi-transparent.
Remixing cultural elements, designer Nora Aldamar creates a chic summer-ready collection that is crafted with versatility and function in mind. The collection's bright color scheme and patterned accents are another addition to its fun theme, ensuring wearers will make a statement while staying comfortable at the same time.
