NYFW 2020 [DAY 4]: Noon by Noor
Hard TO EXPLAIN HOW HAPPY i WAS TO BE ATTENDING THIS SEASONS, BUT IT WAS EXACTLY ONE YEAR AGO SINCE MY FIRST NYFW SHOW AT NONE OTHER THAN Noon BY Noor. So WHEN i READ THEIR CONCEPT WAS INFLUENCED BY Bahrain’s DOORS AND ARCHITECTURE — iT FELT LIKE A SIGN (AS MY PROFESSION IS ARCHITECTURE) FOR A GREAT SHOW!

“Fall’s colors are inspired by the golden hour of sunlight at dusk. Muted hues... from sandstone and darker woodwork tones””
Noon by Noor Fall-Winter 2020
Intricate geometric shapes, carving a shallow relief on wooden structures, doorways, and architecture — this was the inspiration celebrated in Noon by Noor’s FW20 fabrics and silhouette shapes. I appreciate their constant connection to Islamic culture and traditional cuts. The natural linen-wool and bold knitwear mixed with soft silks and chiffon mimics the fluid shapes of architectural design. Particularly the geometric square necklines and slit cuts, in a very chic minimal and romantic fluidity that is signature Noon by Noor, who are known for their playful, luxe-feminine designs and intricate embellishments.
As for the show — I loved the contrast in the models’ shoes, chunky platform boots with the soft feminine pieces is exactly how I would style it. The perfect fall collection to follow their very similar spring designs [SS20 show]. The designers draw inspiration from both Eastern and Western influences, with an emphasis on sharp tailoring, clean silhouettes and attention to detail. I could easily see this collection styled from modest outfits, to work attire, to a chic night out in the city.
