Omar Mansoor SS18 Collection at London Fashion Week

The beginning of the 20th Century saw fashion take a 360 degree turn from exotic and restrictive dresses to fuss free uniform like attires. Like most changes, this was a gradual process, a natural merging of the old and new as Omar taps into this transitional period with the softer jumpsuit and belted dresses
