We’ve lived through winter’s teeth-clattering, cold breeze and made it past the persistent desperation of keeping toasty.
As summer looms around the corner and we prepare for the embrace of its striking rays of warmth and joy, the search for airy attire, that clings to fashionable moments rather than our bodies in the midsummer heat, is the foremost journey we embark on every Spring in preparation for the beachy blaze that awaits us.
From casual city walks along boulevards and brunch by the beach, to moonlit dinners and the most dressed up of nightlife partaking, the fashion opportunities that summer brings about are endless.
Planning an outfit from morning to night can be tedious and often uninspiring, our ELLE editors have created a series to help you navigate between several local Egyptian brands offering the perfect pieces from head to toe. Today we flow with the wind for an ethereal evening.
ETHEREAL EVENINGS
Pastel colors and flowing dresses or skirts exude a dreamy, delicate charm that is perfect for an ethereal summer evening. The soft colors evoke the warmth of the lowering sun, while the flowing, airy forms delicately move with each wind.
Pastels are a must-have for a summer wardrobe since they not only convey the lightness of the season but also a carefree elegance.
This dreamy atmosphere is enhanced with flowing dresses and skirts that provide comfort and flair while letting you move freely to experience the beauty of a summer evening.

ZIAVIE
Ziavie’s summer collection captures the sun-drenched beauty and charm of the French Riviera, paying homage to the mesmerizing Mediterranean coast.
This collection, which finds inspiration in the lively color scheme and carefree, breezy atmosphere of the shore, exhibits a gorgeous interaction between delicate pastels and eye-catching color blocks.
The collection has a variety of statement pieces, such as flowing skirts, matching sets, and intricately created tops, all of which are beautifully beaded and delicately embroidered. A stunning beaded garment that was inspired by a painting created by the designer’s father is the collection’s real standout piece.
Over 200 hours of hand beading went into creating this amazing piece, Midnight Gossips, with every detail capturing the ethereal quality of the piece and the significant impact of artistic inspiration.
