et Fashion Designer of the Week: Dina Shaker

CAIRO – 29 October 2017: Always looking to inspire and empower women through her wearable deconstructed, asymmetrical, textured and color-blocked designs, Dina Shaker is following the footsteps of legendary designers Yoji Yamamoto and Rei Kawakubo.

With a degree in fine arts specialized in interior design, Shaker soon realized that her heart and style were meant to be in fashion.

Shaker went on to study fashion design and marketing at the Cairo Fashion Design center and in 1999. She founded and creatively directed “Spicy,” a brand that followed international standards.

With the creative need to be more artistic and self-explanatory, she created her own self-titled label in 2001 with an avant-garde identity.

While playing on the hard and soft elements with day and night looks, her 2017 fall/winter collection “Recomposed Classic” does just that. In the 20-piece collection, the main character is the winter jacket which is oversized, deconstructed and a three-in-one transforming piece of edgy wearable art that also transforms into a skirt and shorts.

Her collections are sold in the fashion capitals of the world such as Milan, London, Beirut and Kuwait City.
