New York City based Fashion Designer Aysha Saeed is returning to Seychelles with her Holiday 2009 Collection. However, this time there will be a twist not only will she present her collection to our Seychelles client, she will also give a talk at Seychelles New Haven on December 3rd at 6pm about her transition from finance to the world of fashion.
After working in finance for many years, Aysha left Wall Street and moved to Milan to pursue her interest in fashion design. Aysha will give an informal talk about how she made the decision to leave Wall Street to pursue her true passion for fashion, her experiences in Italy and how she started her own collection. We are super excited to co-sponsored this event with YCouture.
A trunk show featuring informal modeling and a reception will follow Aysha’s talk. This a great opportunity for everyone who missed Aysha’s October trunk show at Seychelles Westport to meet Aysha, learn more about her and see her gorgeous collection in Seychelles New Haven.
Check out some photos below of Aysha’s Fall/Holiday 2009 editorial shoot. The photos shoot location was at the Seacroft Estate, where Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt lived earlier this year.






Aysha’s collection is feminine and elegant and most importantly for us at Seychelles the fit is amazing!

Gorgeous Zahra Saeed Evening Gown

Zahra's LBD

Seychelles Dresses Westport will be hosting a trunk show featuring the 2009 Fall/Winter Collection of hot new designer Zahra Saeed on Thursday, September 17, 2009, 12 noon – 7pm. Hors d’oeuvres and cocktails will be served and there will be informal modeling.
Zahra Saeed is a Philadelphia based designer who debuted her first collection this Spring in both the US and Europe to much acclaim.
Seychelles is excited to share Zahra’s Fall/Winter 2009 Collection with our customers. We love that she has fabulous gowns, beautifully tailored sheaths and fun flirty skirts . Of course we adore her LBD but most of all we love her use of color! Check out the orange tunic dress above. Its made of hand woven “jamawar” fabric ( hand woven silk). Every woman should introduce a little color into her Fall wardrobe and I think that this dress makes our list!

- opaque tights and t-strap heels (see above)
- fishnets and knee high boots
- bare legs and sexy stilettos
- a long strand of pearls
- sparkly earrings
