PATINA By AHMAD ABDULLATIF

Working with deadstock textiles, stored fabrics, and experiments from earlier collections, Ahmad returns to materials and designs that once felt unresolved. Their colours, textures, and available quantities guide the process, with patchwork, reconstruction, and hand embellishment turning what was set aside into one-of-a-kind pieces.

The collection moves between vivid fuchsia, orange, purple, and green, grounded by black and soft neutrals. Floral prints and sheer layers meet fluid, body-skimming silhouettes, while gathering, braided straps, beading, and fringe bring texture and movement. Open backs, cutouts, and close-fitting shapes give the clothes a sensual, playful character.

Named after the character a surface develops over time, PATINA considers how a change in perspective can reveal new possibilities in what already exists.
