Aishti Fall Winter Fashion Show

Key trends for fall and winter came together on one catwalk Tuesday night 5th of November 2013, at the exclusive MasterCard Aïshti Fashion Experience Beirut 2013. The annual runway show is Lebanon's definitive fashion event, and this year saw A-list guests take up seats in the front row before Aïshti's magnificent flagship boutique.


Set within the glimmering city skyline, the open-air show featured 14 male and female models flaunting the latest looks from Paris, New York, London and Milan down a 40-meter runway. Texture was the buzzword of the evening, with beading, delicate lace, lustrous silk and tweed appearing across collections. Complexity in cuts gave paired-down womenswear looks a contemporary spirit, while menswear basics - the blazer, in particular - came into the moment with relaxed pairings, like V-neck T-shirts and wooly turtleneck sweaters. Forty-eight looks summarized the season, including pieces from Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Dior, Roberto Cavalli, Saint Laurent, Emilio Pucci, Celine, Ermenegildo Zegna, Chloé, Prada, Marc Jacobs, Etro, Agent Provocateur, Stella McCartney, Burberry and Bottega Veneta. An Alessandra Rich dress proved a breathtaking finale.
