Just a few high lights on some of the designers that will be showcasing and exhibiting:
Tykorchélli: In the world of high fashion, there are brands that stand out for their innovation, creativity, and sheer opulence. Tykorchélli is one such brand that has been making waves in the industry headlining at our previous fashion week event and has caused a global fashion storm.
The launch of The Royal Collection at House of iKons Fashion Week London February 2024 unveiled 20 stunning looks that exuded versatility in style, featuring a myriad of interchangeable options. From high fashion to theatrical flair to exquisite formal attire.
Dedicated to uncompromising fashion, specialising in exclusive couture with meticulous attention to detail. Every garment meticulously designed to enhance personal beauty and style.
Tykorchélli’s philosophy revolves around “Making a Statement,” aiming to capture the inner beauty of each individual and elevate it to new heights. The collection made a huge statement, and now they have taken luxury to a whole new level with the debut of their much-anticipated Diamond Collection.
The collection will consist bespoke gowns, abhaya’s and saris. Highlighting a diverse collection celebrating all cultures.
The Diamond collection will use 22ct Gold and Sterling Silver thread using real diamonds, rubies and other gem stones. Clients can have these designed to their specific requirements down to the grade of the gem stones.
The unveiling of the first dress from the Diamond Collection at the Cannes Film Festival in France May 2024, was nothing short of spectacular. Worn by the stunning Sheynnis Palacios – Miss Universe 2023 on the red carpet, this masterpiece was a breathtaking blend of Renaissance and Rococo aesthetics reimagined for contemporary sensibilities. Crafted from luxurious silk and shimmering moissanite stones, the dress radiated brilliance under the Cannes lights, capturing attention and adoration from all who beheld it. Tykorchélli made the Best Dressed lists for Latinos at Festival de Cannes listed by YosoyLatino.es and coverage on the designer by Telemundo, NBC 6 and FTV.
The bespoke piece worn by Sheynnis Palacios – Miss Universe 2023 will be on show at The Confessional Showroom in Miami.
The full Diamond Collection will be launched at the show with their very own Solo Segment, with high profiled guests in attendance and exciting news to be announced on their projects.
Arabesque Boudoir: The CEO of this brand, Maya Mosteghanemi, is a prodigious artist and designer. Her expertise is in abstract oil paintings that explore the uncharted crevices of the subconscious. Maya believes that there is an infinite well of potential within all of us despite being constrained by our material selves. She is as ambitious as she is skilled thanks to her experience as a stylist, brand ambassador and business manager for Nina Ricci, Saint Laurent and Versace for over a decade.
Her latest collection Noeud Papillon (Bow Collection), is inspired by 11th century Renaissance Europe, namely the Ottoman Empire and Britain. This collection intends to capture the passion, care and love for not only each other but for life. It captures Le Savoir Vivre that has taken a backseat in contemporary, alienated and impersonal society. The striking silhouette’s and grand colours create a sense of abundance and the intricate handmade embroideries alongside the quality fabrics add a subtle but powerful level of care within each piece. The piece Emma de Normandy is inspired by the queen of the same name who herself was headstrong, proud and ambitious. The dedication and passion she put into ruling is reflective of the sentiments of the time. Her radiance emboldened through the gemstone embroideries present in the gown including cultured pearls, rhinestones and quartz crystals. Emma de Normandy was an accomplished woman and feminist icon even in a time where women were not empowered to do so. It is a lesson for people to follow their passions despite the gravity that faces us all.
Think Ocean: The Water Lifestyle Clothing Range: Will be unveiling “Think Ocean’s” versatile and innovative Water Lifestyle Clothing Range, alongside with their co-created statement pieces. Each item embodies the unwavering commitment to environmental sustainability and social responsibility through collaborative efforts.
Purpose and Impact of this collection transcends fashion, representing a movement dedicated to fostering positive change for people and the planet. This collection narrates the story of sustainable fashion and supports numerous impactful initiatives.
These pieces stand as a testament to their global collaborative efforts, which include empowering vulnerable and marginalised women through skills education, promoting environmental sustainability through training and community engagement, education on environmental stewardship, developing sustainable business models, engaging youth, and organising regular cleanups alongside a focus on recycling and upcycling programs.
Their upcoming project is to feature upcycled props by Channel 4’s Max McMurdo, highlighting how waste can be transformed into valuable resources. Additionally, they are empowering college students who are differently abled to stand in their strength through their involvement in both the show and collection, promoting their ‘I’m Not Rubbish’ campaign.
Benu Apparel: Founder and creative Natassha Nogan love for sewing and fashion began at a very early age. Her mother owned a bridal shop which she visited daily watching women coming in and trying on their dream bridal gowns. With this as her inspiration, and love for travelling and music, Natasha pursued her creative passion.
The name “Benu Apparel” has great meaning to it. “Benu” because of the symbolism behind it, means “re-birth”, to “rise in brilliance”, and “shine”. Natasha’s vision is for her designs to make the individual feel new, to shine, and to help one feel one can rise to any occasion and be true to YOURSELF.”
Muse & Sensia: This brands mission is to bring elegance and sensation with their carefully crafted designs. At the heart of the brand lies ‘Muse’ – the essence of artistic creativity, harmoniously blending with ‘Sensia’ – a fusion of sensuality and senses.
