THE WHALES

At the young age of 17, the Emirati designer of the Whales Roudha Jamal debuted her first fashion show at Dubai Fashion Week to give a collection where shades of blue exist among hues of white, beige, and denim. Ombre suits with color gradients and sleeve prints that are ocean inspired reflected her fascination for whales. Beyond just creating fashion, The Whales also prioritizes environmental sustainability where her collection raised awareness of the need to protect whale species and the environment.

 

 

TEMMA PRASETIO

Temma Prasetio drew inspiration from the Nusa Tenggara Timur, the southernmost province of Indonesia’s exquisite hand-weaving techniques and rich cultural heritage. Each fabric and pattern in the collection tells a story of modernity while also celebrating the region's cultural legacy. His collection of unique bomber jackets, oversized mesh shirts, and effortless belt-waisted coats embroidered with ethnic patterns delivered a true representation of culture and technique representing the designer’s visual sense.
