Noon by Noor, the brainchild of Bahraini cousins Shaikha Noor Rashid Al Khalifa and Shaikha Haya Mohamed Al Khalifa, has just released its Resort 2019 collection and it’s seriously pretty.
Taking its inspirations from the pair’s home country of Bahrain, the collection is finished in a pretty colour palette of white, pink and yellow with a custom stripe created specifically for the new season. Embellishment detailing comes in the form of the Gulf country’s native palm tree whilst expert draping gives a nonchalant-yet-elegant feel to the pieces.
Made-for-summer midi dresses sit stylishly alongside clean cut, suiting-inspired separates and evening-ready gowns, delivering the brand’s customer a complete wardrobe in one fashionable swoop.
