The designer told “SEE” that the collection took a lot of time because it was handmade, which she has been working on since last November.
“It is a collection pided into three groups. The first suit Ramadan, but was not created purposely for Ramadan, and can be worn through the year. A colorful, joyful summer group and the third group is the shawl, which I make sure to have in every collection,” Yousef said.
