Arwa Al Banawi creates her version of a suitable woman and I’m in love!
Back in my advertising days, my uniform was all about the blazer. I love a great fitting sharp blazer and have collected quite a few over the years but they’re all sadly buried deep in my closet and worn only in rare occasion.
I rediscovered my affection for blazers and suits in Fashion Forward all thanks to Arwa Al Banawi‘s debut collection. Hailing all the way from Saudi Arabia, Arwa’s collection has a very distinct New York vibe with its masculine cuts and playful fabric and color combo.
This double-breasted blazer ticked all my sartorial preferences. Sharp masculine tailoring, slight sports fit, and unique detailing of the buttons.
Always putting my own spin on tailored items, I paired my Arwa Al Banawi blazer with a wide leg pants and white tennis shoes and boater hat.
Call this my version of a power suit.
