This partnership introduces pieces inspired by traditional Abayas, Sheilas, scarves, and ponchos, honoring Middle Eastern tradition while pushing fashion forward. Also joining this creative alliance is Sidi, the iconic Italian brand revered for its high-performance racing boots. Their presence further reinforces the collection’s DNA; where speed, craftsmanship, and innovation collide. “This event is more than a fashion show; it is a creative revolution,” stated Maria Buccellati. “By merging the thrill of motorsport with high fashion, we’re redefining the boundaries of luxury streetwear. The collaboration with TheArsenale and the support from Westbrook Racing and Will Smith have been instrumental in bringing this vision to life.” “We wanted to create a collection that incorporates Middle Eastern culture by designing pieces that are bold and expressive while respecting cultural protocols,” added Marcela Meignan.
