Only in the hands of Amina K. can fabrics mingle, becoming hippy, practical and &#8220;edge&#8221; in unexpected forms. The designer has a way of taking something very ordinary, such as knitting, putting her signature on it and making it wearable. For instance, in terms of fabrics Amina mixed leather with knitting. Think &#8220;the meeting of traditional Native American or Colombian meets modern-day.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><strong>&#8220;I want to surprise my client, and gain new ones&#8221; said Amina, whose pure, ethnic designs inspire. Take, for example, her black leather vest, with a blue knitted backing, harem pants decorated with knitting at the waistline, loose shirts with layered knitted pockets, over-sized jackets, bohemian layers of viscose over a knitted shawl \u2013 a modern, Colombian girl outlook for the world look-book. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Amina says she focused on &#8220;fabrics, shawl, mingling with style, ethnic, hip look.&#8221; Her fall\/winter collection&#8217;s style was definitely conducted along bohemian-gypsy; something Mary-Kate Ashley Olsen would wear as they are being chased by paparazzi<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In fact, there is only one item that does not fall in this category: a layered chiffon shirt with colours on pink and fuchsia with a blue collar. By all means it is a refreshing delicate twist in terms of design and colour from the entire collection &#8211; not to mention a stand out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Colours, too, were strong and edgey: black, grey, camel, brown; Amina stated that she wanted to play with dark colours, not mixing and matching light with dark to promote a lighter outcome.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Perhaps this was not the essential collection that Amina so often serves us with, but rather a quiet, thoughtful Amina took the risk to reinvent herself and her showroom signature with a delightfully ethnic vision.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Local designer, Amina K.&#8217;s latest collection strays from her normal basics, seamlessly mixing traditional ethnic&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1194,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,51],"tags":[1367,268,506,226,1368,677,227],"class_list":["post-1197","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-clothes","category-dresses","tag-amina","tag-designer","tag-egyptian","tag-fall","tag-k","tag-review","tag-winter"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.egeve.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1197","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.egeve.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.egeve.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.egeve.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.egeve.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1197"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.egeve.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1197\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3036,"href":"https:\/\/www.egeve.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1197\/revisions\/3036"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.egeve.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1194"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.egeve.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1197"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.egeve.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1197"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.egeve.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1197"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
