Neon Edge Spring/Summer 2011 Collection

Dubai Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2011 got off to a cheery start on Sunday with Dubai based designer Mona Fares unveiling her psychedelic, neon tastic collection.

Her outfits in vibrant fluorescent colors were rolled out onto the runway, much to the delight of Dubai’s fashionable set who had descended upon the tent erected at the Atlantis.

The catwalk on the first day of Dubai Fashion Week saw a balance between latest 2011 collection of bright neons and more subdued abayas, with the requisite bridal couture thrown in the mix.

Designer Mona Fares, 25, considers herself a cheerful, happy person and her debut collection is an amplified reflection of her sunny personality. Vibrant tunics in neons and fuchsia is paired with shiny leggings were a dominant force in her 46-piece collection. Polka dotted frilled dresses along with menswear staid shirts with neon piping also featured.

Perfect as disco wear for teenagers don’t be surprised if you find yourself digging into your bag for much needed sunglasses.
