Omar Mansoor 2023 Collection ‘Margilan’

Named after Margilan, a city in the Fergana region of eastern Uzbekistan, Omar Mansoor’s collection uses black as his main colour palette with pops of multi-colour Ikat fabric, handwoven in Uzbekistan.

Omar’s black represents the confidence, assurance and vividness whilst the multi-colour trimmings and sleeves depict vibrancy.

The above asymmetric hemline dress has a cheeky back to turn heads at the races.

Ikat is a unique textile patterned by dyeing the threads before weaving by using environmentally friendly dyes. Add a pop of colour or go monochrome as below.

The city of Margilan has been famous for its traditional weaving of silk since the old days, and is still preserving this tradition focusing on high quality handmade goods – from feeding their silkworms with mulberry leaves, dyeing the silk with natural mineral and vegetable dyes to weaving the silk.

As a campaigner of sustainability in fashion, Omar uses fabrics made up of a mix of new and recycled fibres in his collection as a means to care about our planet and the future of the fashion industry. This is also a step forward towards shifting fashion from a linear to a circular model.

He also proved that evening wear made from recycled fabric can look equally glamorous. 

This year, Omar showcased his collection during London Fashion Week at the Fashion London UK runway show held in the Royal Horseguards London Hotel.
