Essentiel Antwerp brings Belgian Fashion to Dubai

Dubai has set a new standard for the region’s style landscape with the opening of the first Essenteil Antwerp outlet in the Middle East. Arriving from Belgium, Essentiel Antwerp is the country’s most renowned fashion brand providing a delicious array of fashion collections designed for the beach and for casual, yet head-turning, every day wear.

Essentiel SS15 Collection Women

Essentiel’s Spring 2015 collection is defined by vibrant colours that include various tints of green, such as aqua, grass and mint, with lipstick red, bubblegum pink, lemon yellow, lilac and soft nudes and pastels, as well as a few eye-catching black and white combinations. In terms of cut and style, the collection is defined by loosely fitted dresses, oversized sweaters and slouchy pants. Skater and floaty neoprene midi skirts create a very feminine silhouette, with sequins, lurex, sparkles and holographic finishes providing highlights that are comfortably chic. Prints in the collection will certainly generate a buzz and include a skirt with all-over voluptuous lips. Checks and flowers are effortlessly combined with the ‘Square Pusher’ print, while the  blurred ‘Dots on Mars’ and ‘Dots on Pluto’ create a strong but still very feminine look.

Perhaps the most striking outfit in the Essentiel’s Spring 2015 collection’s knit range is the ‘Shiny Dream knit,’ with silver lurex and matching pencil skirt. The ‘Stone Age knit’ array of garments features a particularly attractive removable collar for a quick and easy style change. Essentiel’s Spring 2015 collection’s accessories line – from bags to shoes and jewellery - pays striking attention to detail and includes large totes, smaller bags and clutches. iPad cases with playful prints keep personal hardware fashionably protected. Stepping up to the plate with its footwear range, wedges in the collection are well-represented and accompanied by pumps, flat sandals and slip-ons.

Essentiel SS15 Beach Collection

Naturally, an essential aspect of the Dubai lifestyle is the beach. The Essentiel SS15 Beach Collection is its second luxurious edition, with tropical influences and a bohemian edge setting the tone this time. The collection features loose trousers, beautifully-fitted kimonos, dresses and caftans, all specially designed to float on the emirate’s evening breeze. The daring see-through crochet dress and batik effect tunic are statement pieces designed to create a ripple whenever they are worn, with the classic tiger print of the previous collection now having given way to a pattern of actual tigers.
