• Design diversity

Samy presented a variety of designs that take into account women's tastes and choices.

The designs were distinguished by elegance and modesty, and were in line with global fashion and trends.

This approach is credited to the designer who is proud of the Egyptian identity and works to add a modern touch to the art of tulle, which is famous in southern Egypt.

The designer presented a selection of dresses that varied between the dress that suited the twenty-year-old female with her vitality and enthusiasm, and the dress decorated with crystals.

The designs were straight lines far from the body for a more dignified and modest look.

The details of each design were different and distinctive, with ruffles in one of the designs and a wide bow on one of the shoulders.

The wide, flexible, loose cape was also present in an attractive design that added a lot of luxury and distinction to the piece.

The event was organized in a magical night with mesmerizing music and traditional Egyptian and Slovakian sweets to complete a full integrated cultural exchange, from the Nile to Tatra.
