Beena Soni 2010 Jalabiyas Collection

        

If you thought that jalabiyas were just long, loose, embroidered robes, a visit to Beenas Collection outlet would make you think otherwise. Designed by the one and only Indian designer Beena Soni, the jalabiyas of Beenas Collection are in short, examples of fashion renaissance.

“Everybody needs a change,” Beena Soni tells City Times during her fashion show at this year’s Abu Dhabi Bride Show.”You cannot go on with the usual traditional cut of jalabiya. As trends change, fashion changes, and so as a designer I fully take advantage of my ideas, using different materials in term of fabrics and trimmings to fashion something that is innovative.”

Steal that style: Princess Beatrice of York

Her mother, the Duchess of York, who is known to have an active interest in Queen Victoria, is one of the film’s executive producers

  

Princess Beatrice will appear as a lady-in-waiting in a scene from the coronation of her great-great-great-great-grandmother, Queen Victoria.”It was tiring and I was freezing cold, but I absolutely loved it,” she is reported to have said after finishing filming Victoria’s coronation at Lincoln Cathedral. “I am so excited about it.” She was dressed in a full white gown with a tight corset top and matching headdress for her first day of shooting.
