The idea of El Zorkany’s brand is based on changing fashion and turning it into designs that suit both genders in a modern, elegant, and innovative way.

The designs also highlighted that anyone can be chic, regardless of their age, skin color, or body size.

*High-end materials

The designs mark El Zorkany’s second collection.

It featured tulle, satin, and embroidery designs, which were the three most important things in making the collection.

The designer noted that choosing men's materials was very difficult due to men's fashion in Egypt is still developing.

“We test many materials before manufacturing to ensure quality,” she added.

*Why design for men

The designer also opened up about the idea of designing for men.

“Many men go for the black suit that we are accustomed to. I wanted to break free from this concept and let the men renew their look with distinctive designs,” El Zorkany pointed out.

*Valentine's Day

El Zorkany has also offered white designs for women and men for Valentine's Day.

The designer highlighted that she has chosen the white color due to Saint Valentine — who secretly married couples that were in love but couldn't legally wed — always wearing white and a red shawl over his shoulder.
