(A message to the reader.)
Omar Mansoor’s Meluhas Spring/Summer 2025 collection debuted at the Amwaj Rotana Hotel in Dubai, marking the final stop of a global tour that included London, Paris, and Uzbekistan. The stunning event, organized by JG Events, brought together industry leaders and fashion enthusiasts to experience a blend of ancient craftsmanship and contemporary design.
Inspired by the ancient Indus Valley civilization, Meluhas channels the artistry of pottery miniatures and the earthy tones of the natural world. In collaboration with the Kaarvan Crafts Foundation, the collection celebrates the rich heritage of hand embroidery, with each piece adorned with intricate motifs inspired by Middle Bronze Age ornaments. The colour palette—clay, terracotta, and ochre—symbolizes simplicity, elegance, and quiet authority, with garments that range from flowing dresses to tailored separates.
Every piece tells a story, blending heritage with modern silhouettes for a refined yet grounded aesthetic.
The stitches used in this collection are cross stitches, square chain, double buttonhole, pattern darning, running stitch, satin and straight stitches.
As part of his ongoing partnership with Kaarvan Crafts Foundation, Mansoor continues to support the empowerment of indigenous artisans and preserve the traditions of their craft on a global stage.
