This season, the designer cousins behind the label Noon by Noor — Shaikha Noor Al Khalifa and Shaikha Haya Al Khalifa — toned down the embellishments and turned out a monochromatic collection filled with oversized masculine shapes juxtaposed with feminine draped silhouettes. Key looks included a rich embroidered velvet mac, a beautiful faded floral-printed skirt that graduated from dark to light, playful cocoon faux-fur coats and great cozy sweaters. The duo also showed plenty of men’s wear-inspired pieces, like an oversized coat, tailored blazers and easy trousers — although these pieces didn’t work as well as they could have, the colors were drab and at times the fabrics were stiff and unflattering. The strongest part of the collection was the youthful eveningwear: a 3-D floral embroidered jumpsuit with a floating train, an embroidered top paired with trousers and a velvet and organza embellished asymmetric dress.
