Manama : An exhibition featuring the designer collections of Indian-Bahraini fusion wear was launched yesterday.

The exhibition organized by multi-designer store ‘Affinity by Batool’ featured clothing collection inspired by Indian-Bahraini fusion. The all-day exhibition which extends till today is being held from 10:30 am to 10:00 pm at Affinity by Batool premises in Zinj. 

Fusion wears have been gaining popularity in recent years, said Founder and Owner of  Affinity by Batool, Batool Dadabahi. “This idea of fusion in fashion has been gaining more popularity of late. These styles are more versatile, it is not restricted to just certain occasions, it’s multi-functional.”

“Nowadays fashion has evolved, everything has become a fusion. It all depends on the person who wears it. The person who wears it enhances the clothes and not the other way round, that is what i believe.” she said.

She said that the expo features 6 international designer collections “We have 6 designer collections from around the world, these collections have come to Bahrain for the first time. Even though they are collections from international designers, the fabric, workmanship and the embroidery are all done in India.”
