Leila Hafzi‘s bridal range Royaye Sefid (Bright Dreams) is a line of innovative bridal dresses and evening gowns for a grand entrance. Her fifth collection Royaye Sefid V and its classic fabrics are lovingly woven and tailored into uniquely delicate creations with exciting new textures appearing in the form of hand-made silk lace, embroidered silk and beaded details. The designer has again enhanced the collection by mixing elements from different cultures. The inspiration for the Royaye Sefid V collection comes from the designer’s mix of childhood memories: the Norwegian snowflake and Iranian wild rose. These memories have been interpreted through the intricate handwork of the Santal women in Bangladesh and their excellent crafts work with local natural silks created in beautiful crochet work.
The signature palette of soft colours incude pure white, crème, tender peach and a hint of rose. As with all Royaye Sefid collections, the gowns and styles are available in soft hues, as well as a variety of brighter colours for Red Carpet and other special events.
The designer finds inspiration wherever cultures meet and interact. Elements from the Royaye Sefid collections build on the strings of prayer flags hanging across rooftops and above the streets of Kathmandu in Nepal. Worn by the wind and sun, their sharp edges grow soft and ruffled. The rough edge silks compliment the overall femininity of the designs.
