QUESTION: What do $5,000, a python, Saks Fifth Avenue’s City Centre Bahrain store and an ice-cream truck have in common?
Answer: Amanda Navai.
CIEANNA recently launched its Autumn/Winter 2015 collection at the Elite Resort & Spa. The new company was founded by 25 year-old Bahraini designer Anseya Gilitwala, who aims to celebrate fashion through creating a sense of ‘timeless elegance with a contemporary twist’. According to urban dictionaries, the name ‘Cieanna’ refers to a sociable woman who appreciates the beauty of nature and the refinements of life, and is moved by music and the arts.
This idea was thoughtfully portrayed in the classy catwalk event. The venue was romantic with billowing fabric that hung gracefully from the ceiling amidst five voluptuous chandeliers creating an ambience of soft sophistication.
“The collection oozed femininity, with hardly any harsh lines and the fabrics flowed beautifully with fluidity in neutral colours.”
