In all its multitude, feminity and womanhood have been big topics in the zeitgeist this past year.
Falling in line with that exploration, the Qatari it-girl abaya brand 1309 Studios pays homage to that sacred journey with its newest collection.
Flaunted by the a-listers, from Imaan Hammam to Georgina Rodríguez, the contemporary edgy outwear label has continued to reach new heights with each drop. From a buzzworthy pop-up at Dubai’s The Muse, to a new TikTok page that’s creating some noise, collection number 11 sets out to continue that upward trajectory.
From two-toned florals to chiffon silks, each piece tells a multilayered story of femininity, identity and diversity. Titled “The 11th Odyssey”, 1309 Studio sets out to take its audience on a curated journey of exploring each face of the self, through multitudinous material, design and cuts.
1309 Studios new collection: The 11th Odyssey
Telling a story with fabric interaction, each stitch and cut embed tells a silent tale. From paying attention to that little girl that resides within through the lacy butterfly stitchings trailing the hem of a scarf. To masculine-edged bold pieces that trail with you a sense of grown-woman elegance. Each piece explores and honours the layers of womanhood with delicacy and artisanal craftsmanship.
Taking a closer look at the collection, here are four stand-out pieces from 1309 Studios’ new collection that have caught the GRAZIA editors’ eyes.
For The sleek
This piece features a slant cut, white trims, and two torso embellishments that give the illusion of a squared button top coat. Refined yet daring, this straightforward abaya speaks volumes without demanding attention.
For The Smart Yet Playful
Fusing a long sturdy trench coat with a flowy floor-length abaya, this palm tree embellished number is complete with trickling white thread, oversized bulging pockets and formal lapels.
For The Artsy
Blurring the lines between regal elegance, with the glistening beige silk material, this lightweight abaya is the epitome of wearable art.
For the Edgy
Two-toned and with a double fabric feature, this dusty pink piece offers a street-style vibe with its patchy detailing and loose fit. Not abandoning the brand’s refined roots, its light materials and structure-less fit offers a flowy sense of elegance.
