Syrian-born and Dubai-based designer Rami Al-Ali, who made his debut in the City of Light back in 2012, returned on Thursday to showcase his Autumn-Winter Couture 2023 collection, on the sidelines of Paris Haute Couture Week.

Featuring structured embellishments, high-impact ruffles and bows, and sleek silhouettes with bold attachments, the designer was in high form presenting pieces for the modern, urban woman. From evening gowns and mini dresses to slim satin pants, the collection was versatile in the best way.

While elegance was a running theme, Al-Ali was also not afraid to play with more masculine silhouettes, with tapered, cigarette pants making an appearance more than once.

The UAE-based designer last year celebrated the 20th anniversary of his fashion house’s debut. In a tribute to his many travels, which often served as muse to his ethereal collections, Al-Ali tasked 20 photographers in 20 destinations across the world with capturing 20 of his best creations.
