Designers Shaikha Noor Al Khalifa and Shaikha Haya Al Khalifa took a minimalistic approach to pre-fall silhouettes, imbuing their clean, streamlined shapes — T-shirts, a shift dress, a collarless jacket — with flower embellishments, graphic prints and innovative fabrics, such as a shimmering silk that gave the appearance of sequined stripes. Stripes added a sporty effect to other looks, the best of which was a black and white alpaca coat styled over floral-print separates for an unexpected twist. Elsewhere, a sheer organza blazer offered a new play on suiting. “We wanted a subtle vibe,” Al Khalifa said. “We focused on shape and simplicity.”
