Wafa Works Wonders With Her SS12 Kaftans
One of my favourite designers in the region, Wafa Saifi combines class and elegance with an ethereal Eastern flair. Her skirts, tops and dresses are all gorgeously made, combining colours, textures and fabrics with innovative expertise, but my favourite pieces are her kaftans!
