Ombré Fashion

It all started during the Alexander McQeen’s Spring 2001 RTW when the Dip Dye/Ombré colorful trend was introduced through a magnificent dip dyed feather skirt; accessorized with a huge feathered creation with stuffed eagles suspended over the model’s head (Hitchcock drama) followed by a breathtaking red dress with dip dyed feathers.

Later in 2002, Gwen Stefani decided to get married and went to Dior for her out of the world dress, and as always John Galliano didn’t disappoint. Her funky pink dip dyed ombré wedding dress was the talk of the continent, at the very least.

Still in the couture phase, ombré again was introduced through the exquisite taste of Versace in their lookbook for Atelier Versace spring Summer 2011.

Elie Saab’s model flaunted the run way during Spring 2014 Couture with dip dyed ombré flower buds that are too cute I just want to pick them and hide them in my special box.

Then in came Burberry Prorsum Resort 2015 through which Christopher Bailey portrayed his vision of London’s rain as it washes the colors off his delicate British laced coats, and what a pretty sight it is. It is a sure thing that Burberry Prorsum is the real deal of ready to wear Ombré.

Sharif Hamza

Capture

For a fashion photographer and director who started his career only recently, 2010 to be exact, Sharif Hamza is a huge big “SHOT”

You can instantly know that an editorial has been photographed by him; the bright vibrant background with the amazing colors shout out to you “Check me out!”. Just think of  Lupita Nyong’o Dazed & Confused magazine and you would know exactly what I mean.

Hamza uses the light in a way that you can just reach out and lick Beyonce’s ice-cream or touch Lindsy Wixson’s radiant skin.

He photographed for many magazines including Dazed & Confused, W, V Man, AnOther, Interview, Love, GQ, and Vogue to name a few.He made campaigns for Dior Homme, Iceberg, Max Mara, H&M among others.

Besides Hamza is also a a filmmaker, his “In Motion” film by Armani with Liu Wen that was filmed exclusively for  AnOther magazine is breathtakingly intriguing.
