To celebrate UAE National Day, Dubai-based Slovakian fashion designer Julia Milan has created a limited edition dress named “Four Four” in honour of the nation’s 44th anniversary. The ensemble consists of a skirt and long vest piece, featuring black, white and red burqa icons, along with bold stripes and the traditional Ghutra pattern.
“This limited edition dress was inspired by my desire to bridge fashion and culture together. I have incorporated the Arabic design and put touches of western influences on the stitches and cut of the dress. This is my modern take to empower women in their day to day lives,” says Milan. “The ‘Four Four’ dress is also an art piece that I want to give to UAE, my home. UAE has been very successful on welcoming talents like me and giving opportunity to go global.”
Milan prides herself on producing comfortable and versatile garments that merge high fashion with streetwear style. Her “Four Four” dress is available by order through Instagram until the end of December 2015.
