The taste of the general public has always been directed to designs that contain the touch of the authentic Egyptian heritage and we have several Egyptian designers professional in this field.
We have chosen a collection designed by Art education graduate, Maha Amin, who has a high artistic taste and has a special touch in which she presents at secrets.
The designer presented a unique collection, titled “a state of love”, for the holy month of Ramadan, a permanent status that perfectly describes the designer who is always in a state of love for all types of art and authentic heritage.
Amin got a special touch in mixing various heritage arts in one piece, such as mixing etamin with the art of "tent" (khayma), crochet, with the traditional hand-embroidered Siwan, to bring into being a unique case of creativity that cannot be recreated, which earned her many customers from numerous countries, especially after she presented her designs in both France and Italy.
* The splendor of colors
The designer has a trained eye for mixing colors of different shades, and at the same time, harmonies and eye-pleasing, because it is made with love and true desire to preserve the Egyptian identity and make the authentic heritage designs modern, desirable, unique and present in the wardrobe of every generation.
* Mixing heritage
Talking about her new collection, the designer stated that: “the “state of love” collection mixes Egypt's traditional cultures in outfits from various governorates as an assertion on the Egyptian identity, which is abundant in civilization, persity, and richness.”
She continued: “We should be proud and cherish all this cultural heritage as well as should not be followers of all that comes to us from abroad,”
“I also relied on easy and light materials, including lace, guipure, taffeta, and cotton, and mixed them with a modern spirit with (antique) materials from Siwa, Al-Arish, and Sohag.” Amin added.
* Who to?
Amin's designs, which she named secrets, have a great resonance for everyone who has self-confidence and who wants to be unique and different from others, as clothes express identity, personality, and human wealth, as well.
High society ladies in gatherings or special occasions have a desire to be unique and different.
* Caftan and poncho
The collection consists of caftans that are presented modernly. It also features the poncho, which is open from the front and can be worn by women along with pants and a top, which is practical and is best suited for young women.
Finally, the secrets of the Egyptian and Arab heritage are rich and require artists to present it in a modern way, like Egyptian designer Maha Amin does.
