“The introduction of our brand ORO is a new design chapter, to produce seasonal and mid-season collections that are more accessible, available and wearable, but always with our signature edge. With our first exhibition, we aim to bring diversity across a series of capsule collections: from Western luxury to Eastern formal to everyday summer wear” said Mahgul Rashid, creative director at her eponymous brand.
