Renowned Bangladeshi designer Asma Sultana of Zoan Ash fame recently took part at the Runway Dubai fashion extravaganza, held on 19 November, 2021, at the Hotel Al Jaddaf Marriott.

 The collection was themed as an ode to Empress Sisi of Austria.

 "In her days, she was widely known for her beauty and kindness for the common people, but faced great tragedy and had to fight in every aspect of her life for what she has. Her kindness, love for art and fashion, the resilient character inspired me to create this collection," said Asma Sultana.

 For the collection, there was profuse use of black to show the elegance, and also because the Empress choose to wear black after the loss of her child. Sultana opted to use camouflage fabric to symbolise that the Empress is a fighter and designed the entire range of her collection with zardozi and hand sequins to highlight the regal affair and Sisi's admiration for art.
