Sukeina Fall 2020

I love discovering new labels. Sukeina is a favorite of supermodels like Naomi Campbell and Natalia Vodianova. The glamorous statement looks are the creation of Senegalese designer Omar Salam. Like me, he is an alumnus of Parsons School of Design. His resume before launching his own label include Sonia Rykiel and Christian Lacroix. 
Salam's Fall 2020 collection brought in neon brights, bright pastels, and primary colors. Luxe details included embroidery on sporty mesh. Voluminous ostrich feathers brought high drama to this runway for his evening looks.

For Sukeina day looks. The suiting and tailored looks sported a signature pleating detail with origami folds. These were a great way to elevate "work clothes" from utilitarian to wearable art. 

I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next!
