    Imagine a chic club brimming with the affluent and the well-travelled. It’s a space that brings a section of people who connect through their mutual love for fashion, travel and music. Splash created that atmosphere for its guests this season to showcase the AW’15 collection that was an amalgamation of classic trends with an updated look.

    The cafe was a glamorous one which saw the Bespoke Military and Retro Futuristic trends coming together to create the ultimate look for a jet setting individual. Effortless pieces, structured look and the retro chic silhouettes were dominant on the runway that was seen across the fashion weeks in the past days.  _EKO8504

    Raza Beig, CEO Splash & ICONIC added, “Harnessing the power of simplicity, classic and utilitarian in fashion, this season we have embraced two classic trends namely Military and Retro with a modern spin. The collection defines a well read, travelled person who was part of the very niche cult called Café Society. The show is a way of showing our supporters and consumers the creativity that the brand imbibes, not just in our collection but in the way we conceptualize a theme that breaks boundaries and presents fashion like never before.”

     

    The venue was Madinat Jumeirah where the guests were welcomed into a pre-function area that was designed as a café with heavy French and retro influences. A café deemed fit for hi-flyers, the guests relaxed and soaked in the luxurious ambience while they were served premium beverages and canapés. DJ Kennedy made sure to keep the crowd grooving to his eclectic tunes. Stirring just the right amount of excitement, the guests were taken to their seating for the show overlooking an LED lit airport runway which resembled an actual runway. 25 top models sashayed down the runway in a surreal set that came to life with the energy from the audience.

     

    The VIP show was attended by UAE’s crème de la crème which saw Raza Beig walk the finale amidst a thunderous round of applause. All fashion followers and Splash customers also got a taste of the season’s most awaited runway action at the earlier show in the evening.
