DUBAI: Malaysian label Rizman Ruzaini, founded by Rizman Nordin and Ruzaini Jamil, opened Dubai Fashion Week’s Autumn-Winter 24/25 edition on Sunday. Co-founded by Dubai Design District (d3) and Arab fashion Council (AFC), the fashion week runs until Feb. 8. For the latest updates, follow us on Instagram @arabnews.lifestyle Here are six looks we loved from Rizman Ruzaini’s autumn-winter collection. Drenched in gold Channelling the grandeur of the Mughal Empire, Rizman Ruzaini’s new collection is an ode to Empress Mehrunissa. This caped metallic number – paired with a dramatic choker and a nath (Indian nose ring) – evokes the empress’ legendary beauty. Dreamy ballgown Label Rizman Ruzaini’s love for deep black is no secret. Here, the stately ballgown gets a sparkling upgrade with this sleeveless number, featuring a bejewelled overlay. Elegant silhouettes An alluring and regal drape combined with a more modern silhouette for the top, the ensemble is a great example of the label’s love for combining traditional cuts with contemporary twists. Remembering Naomi Reminiscent of Naomi Campbell’s showstopping ensemble at Rizman Ruzaini’s show at DFW’s October outing, the gown comes with an updated, simpler look – complete with the jewel-encrusted caped jacket. Iridescent beauty Opulence meets elegance in this iridescent, pleated piece from Rizman Ruzaini. A majestically beaded, full-sleeved inner piece brings the monochromatic fabric to life. Best for the last Introducing the fashion house"s bridal couture services to the GCC market, the night’s showstopping look featured this regal ivory bridal gown, evoking the empress’s timeless elegance.
