Al-Marsad Newspaper: Azza bint Nayef Abdulaziz Ahmed Al-Sudairi, at the wedding of her daughter, Princess Rajwa Al-Hussein, from the Jordanian Crown Prince Al-Hussein bin Abdullah II, wore a purple dress created by the Lebanese designer, Georges Hobeika.
Dress details
The first piece of the dress has long sleeves and is devoid of any embroidery, while the cape that is placed over the dress is decorated with silk threads and crystals.
In an interview with CNN in Arabic, Hobeika said that this look was specially designed for Al-Sudairi, adding, “It was important for Ms. Azza that the design of the dress reflects the Saudi character, and that the piece be simple and conservative at the same time.”
Desert sands and lavender plants
The designer continued, “I was inspired by the sands of the deserts, and the fragrant lavender plant that grows in them with the advent of spring, so the color of the dress was bright violet, (while) the fabric was… silky, with a sand-like texture.”
As for the headdress, Hobeika explained that the Sudairi preferred it to be devoid of any embellishment or embroidery “to preserve the beauty and simplicity of the look.”
The look was modified after the first experiment conducted by the Lebanese designer with his team in the French capital, Paris. This look is “far from any kind of exaggeration.”
