Noon by Noor sends out a look that’s sleek and shiny at New York Fashion Week

It’s midmorning behind the scenes before Noon by Noor’s autumn/winter 2015 show in New York on Saturday, February 14.

Amid flashbulbs, models changing and assistants frantically packing up 39 looks in less than five minutes, the sheikhas Haya and Noor Al Khalifa are surrounded.

Yet the Bahraini designers – and cousins – behind the label look surprisingly comfortable being around this swarm of people. With just six runway shows under their belt, the Al Khalifas are at ease in the middle of madness – and ready to talk about colour.

“We started with a muted colour palette – the greys and silvers, then it all came from there,” says Haya. The embellishments were an extension of the theme, with the greatest emphasis placed on the silhouettes.

“We wanted to focus on getting the shapes right and just working on a more simple look,” she says.

The new collection was a continuation of pre-fall 2015, pieces of which were worn by celebrities at the show’s front row. The pregnant model Coco Rocha wore a black jacket over a black-and-white printed blouse and trousers, and embellished collar.

DJ Leigh Lazark of The Misshapes paired a Noon by Noor pre-fall black-and-white blazer with a clean, all-black ensemble underneath.

The latest additions to the label’s collection were so aesthetically minimalist, they could have been verging on sci-fi.
