Michael Cinco brings Ancient Egypt to the runway at Arab Fashion Week
Filipino designer Michael Cinco knows how to put on a good show. And, for the spring/summer 2023 show at Arab Fashion Week at Dubai Design District on Thursday night, he brought the mysticism of Ancient Egypt to the UAE.
Against a backdrop of swirling images of ankhs, statuary and ancient tombs, Cinco sent out a tranche of golden looks, lavished with intricate decoration. The first was a sweeping men’s kaftan, light and flowing and covered with art deco-style geometry, followed by another men’s look of a boxy top covered in rich linear patterning. Additionally, blouson jacket and sharp-shouldered suits were displayed for men.
