Muscat Fashion Week 2012:OPNO's faves from the non-Omani designers
ABOVE Bahraini designe Kubra Qaseer: with a collection varying from abayas to minis I did veiw this with interest. I posted all of the abayas found photographed regardless of whether I would wear them or not because I was disapointed that experienced Omani national Khadijah Al Lamki didn't show her works this year, having remarked something about backtsage of Muscat fashion week being somewhat disorganized:( last year. [You were missed Khadjiah].

I DID however enjoy the happy-go-lucky brights and positivity of Kubra's dresses in shorter lengths.The mid length ones were almost too frumpy old hippy for me who would wear them at home, but would be great for a woman who wears hijab with pants.

Amina al Jassim takes a bow.
ABOVE Indian Designer Ayesha Depala: her work is all about tulle, chiffon, lace, and minute details. Where are you going to wear it? Think gala, gala, gala, and wedding, beyond maybe one or two pieces like the more casual option dress sauntering the runway pictured above. [Note: I do like the styling of her models, with the side pony tail and pretty lipstick).

I really do love how Siham kept the traditionally structured takchita caftans more light and flow-ey, taking into consideration off-white and pale colour choices and more workable fabrics. While I adore takchitas personally, as a non-Omani who isn't blonde and wears a headscarf, I have learnt in Oman it is safer for me to opt out of them. I've worn a caftan around Muscat before and for some reason it causes Omani women to give me the stink eye or be ruder to me, and for Omani men to stalk me incessantly under the wholly biased and racist assumption than Moroccan women are GCC-husband hunters or loose immoral women. A friend who looks more Arab than me who also loves a good caftan and not Muslim got called a "witch" by an Emirati woman in an Omani mall, LOL! Yeah, so some racist-stalker proof (I am not guaranteeing you all stalkers) designs by Miss Tib:
