I love being in Fortnum & Masons and when you put a good woman in an awesome cafe with tea, delicate biscuits and great clothes, its a winning combination. Recently, Gisella by Nana, a British luxury fashion label launched its new 2016 Luxury Collection at Fortnums.

The launch was amazing and we saw models showing fluid Haute Couture dresses in soft and exclusive fabrics such as silk and chiffon through a mini fashion show. The brainchild of Ms. Nana Agyeman Ennuson, Creative Director and Co-founder of Gisella by Nana, her vision is to create dresses that exude classic elegance, femininity and grace, for powerful women of the world.

According to Nana, the Middle East is a hot fashion hub and the growing appetite of women for luxury goods shows there is huge potential for fashion labels to thrive and achieve success.

Under the creative reign of Nana, and moving to the forefront of high fashion, Gisella by Nana’s 2016 collection represents the designer’s iconically English roots, pioneering its own individual design aesthetic that blends modernity with old-world charm and glamour.

I loved the designs and love what Nana shares: “Fabric is key with attention to detail. The cut and form of the body is the main focus for the final design. Life and love intertwine to create desirable pieces that last forever.”

The 2016 Collection is all about sleek and sharp pieces, softened by sugary hints of the moment’s must-have hues: white, blue and neutral tones. For a fresh outlook on boardroom dressing, mix and match chic separates, or slip into an effortless shift dress. Dare to wear this season’s must have feminine silhouettes: a luscious print dress or an ice-toned statement necklace will add just the right ladylike finishing touch. The woman that is always on-the-go can complete the look with her favorite statement clutch, designed with both style and flair in mind.

Fall in love with billowing chiffon blouses, flowy dresses and laidback white vibes, crafted in the season’s natural tones. From flirtatious cocktail dresses to dramatic floor-length gowns, dive into Gisella by Nana’s world of unforgettable Special Occasion Collection. This season, go soft and feminine, show off your romantic side in pastel-toned dresses, featuring Chantilly lace and sequin embroideries.

Gisella by Nana has firmly put its feet in Middle Eastern ground and plans to expand and be present in all the fashion capitals from London to Paris, New York, Milan and the rest of Asia.

Her designs are definitely timeless and should be a staple in every girl’s wardrobe for making an impact when its needed.
