Sweet Chaos. So is the name of Rami Kadi’s Couture collection, which boasts daring patterns and sumptuous gowns. The Lebanese-American designer created a playful showcase of dazzling dresses, illuminating the prowess of a woman with optical illusions, dizzying prints and geometrical lines.

Gowns are upholstered with ombré feathers, and fine embroidery fit the cuts ever so perfectly. Lines intermingle to create head-turning contrasts, while dresses are rendered into princess cuts at times, and fitted forms at other times. Dreamy black and white fabrics serve as a beautiful canvas for the series of bright and bold colors- from turquoise to red, dark purple, royal blue and emerald green.

The collection’s dynamism explodes in a riot of extravagant fabrics, revealing sheer tulle and light satin- all of which shine amidst a sea of thick velvet and leather.

Rami Kadi harmoniously echoes the spirit of the daring woman, whose fashionable actions speak louder than words.
