Dina Abd El Aal is considered as one of the first visual artists to take her paintbrush from the cold walls of the galleries, decorating women’s clothes with it.

She presented a distinguished collection for winter 2020, in December, the month of celebrations, outings, and vacations; thus, the artist’s collection was imprinted with a unique design for any party or Christmas and New Year outing.

*Leather and chamois

The leather material, chamois, and velvet are among the trendiest fashion materials for this season.

Abdel Aal presented the materials in creative and modern styles, and with her brush drew astonishing and contemporary paintings.

She also painted women's faces in Sinai burqa with the Egyptian desert as the scenery.

* Irregular tail

The designer presents two fashion shows annually, one in the summer and the other in the winter with artwork and refined taste are the themes.

Abd El Aal relied on cuts that provide space for her art and presented designs for tight dresses, and dresses distinguished by its tail lengths and cuts depending on the lack of symmetry in the designs.

* Various materials for drawing

Drawing on different fabrics is not easy, and drawing on silk and satin can be challenging as well as drawing on heavy winter fabrics.

Each of those needs a special treatment in drawing, especially since the designer has drawn on leather, chamois, and wool.

* The key to life

In her brush, Abdel Aal assures that Egypt is a country of religions and civilizations, so she presented expressive motifs on ancient Egypt.

She drew the key to life, the palm tree, the eye of Horus, and many details confirming through her art that she has Egyptian blood running through her veins, which makes each rich and elegant piece suitable for the 21st Century and gets those who wear it noticed.

* Smell of home

Abdel Aal is keen to employ the traditional arts of people in the remote areas of the country, such as Sinai and Siwa oasis, in her designs through hand embroidery.

She also distributed the colors artistically while preserving the spirit and culture of each region in the country.
