Bambah Takes Over the Streets of Cairo

Can you imagine Bambah’s iconic vintage creations on a set of gorgeous ballerinas? Well, lucky for you now, you don’t have to picture it in your mind anymore, because the Egyptian designer’s lovely brand has teamed up with “Ballerinas of Cairo” to bring you a one-of-a-kind series of ballerina-inspired shots.

Indeed, the set of images put a magical spin on Cairo’s historical streets, revealing Bambah’s fabulous creations in an ever-so whimsical backdrop.

“I would love for the world to see how beautiful my country is and to celebrate its incredible talent and creative drive. You get inspired and recharged with so much energy just by simply walking down the streets and exploring its charm – and this is something that I really wanted to highlight through this project” said Maha Abdul Rasheed, Bambah designer.

In fact, the Egyptian designer has always been influenced by the city’s historical lore. She had previously released the “Cairo Collection” back in June, 2016 and now, she’s bringing back some of her most iconic styles, from the oversized Flower Tube top and Red Backless Bow Gown to her newest creations. The result? Beautiful ballerinas dancing away dressed in nothing less than sheer fabulousness! Could this collaboration be any more charming?

“As an Egyptian, I was so impressed and mesmerised with the Ballerinas of Cairo’s work and how they're bringing out the beauty of the country. I immediately imagined how gorgeous it would be to showcase Bambah’s gowns and iconic pieces, which move so well, on such a lovely backdrop. I loved the contrast of the rich, antique buildings with our modern day twist on Fifties silhouettes. Bambah’s pieces are also very energetic and tend to move very well, so we thought no one could do them justice like a beautiful ballerina roaming around the streets of Cairo!” she adds. 

The looks are available online through www.bambah.com or from Bambah’s flagship store in City Walk II, in Kuwait at Harvey Nichols, in Azerbaijan at Barkers, in Saudi Arabia at Chamelle Plaza, Jeddah and Harvey Nichols Riyadh and in Qatar at Per Lei Couture, Doha.
