Close up: Reem Acra FW18 pre fall

“As a designer, I decided that it’s time to show who I really am,” commented Acra. “There are a lot of [fashion] messages out there, but really I have no time to be someone else. I am truly grateful for the road I have taken. So my message is: Be yourself, and yes you can.”


With this collection, she says she closed her eyes and asked herself, “Who am I?” The answer: a strong, modern, global nomad, with a lashing of Edwardiana for good measure.



 No stranger to embroidery, the designer offered up lavish “tattoo” tops with heart, eye, and Fatima hand motifs. Asymmetrical peplums, a bronze bomber, and a black sweatshirt embroidered with hearts made a case for fusing evening and day.
