Recently featured as a “Line We Love” on Savoir Flair, Poca & Poca’s Summer 2011 collection has been a big hit amongst style connoisseurs in Dubai. Designer Karolina Gniewek was officially introduced to the city’s fashion scene at an event held by The Fashion Network at Bambah Boutique earlier this month, where guests loved her pieces—especially the layered cotton shorts and white jumpsuit with ruffles!
Now, only two weeks later, the Polish designer has unveiled her Mademoiselle Collection, which was shown at an exclusive preview last night. The event was hosted by Karolina herself, along with Dora Peric, founder of The Fashion Network.
The Mademoiselle collection is elegant, graceful, bold and stylish. Exaggerated palazzo pants and jumpsuits with delicate pleating, sheer overlays, satin cuffs and dainty round buttons, in deep shades of navy, purple, fuschia, emerald, black and champagne, were hung on racks around O-Concept Boutique in Jumeirah, where the pieces are available for sale.
Two of my favourite jumpsuits included a button-down long-sleeved champagne piece, and a similar style in black, but with buttons in the back instead of the front, and with a sheer sweetheart neck:
Stock is limited, so if you’re looking to stand out at the next evening event with a classy but unique outfit, visit O-Concept Boutique (located behind The One and near Saladicious in Jumeirah 1) and pick up a gorgeous piece from the Poca & Poca Mademoiselle Collection!
