Known for expert tailoring and embroidering, Hobeika has become a favorite of royalty from Hollywood to the Gulf. Frothy pastels and light neutrals gave this collection soft feminine appeal. Baby doll dresses, belted at the waist with a small bow, look as if they were made for a modern day princess - one could easily picture Kate Middleton sporting one of these dresses with a matching pill box hat. Lightly embroidered elegant empress cut gowns floated down the runway as if in a fairy tale; the floor sweeping capes were especially breath-taking.
