(MENAFN- Daily News Egypt) Many years ago Khedive Ismail bought an island, built a bridge to connect it with the city then started constructing the country's most beautiful spot. Within his extortionate plan came a palace that lived up to his passion for neoclassical architecture.
Many years later, the palace's historic set of stairs witnessed the first official appearance of Egypt's most prominent couples, from Khedive Ismail's son and his bride to daughter of Prime Minister Nahhas Pasha along with her husband.
Today, the mansion is Cairo Marriott Hotel & Omar Khayyam Casino. Despite being a hotel in the 21st century, the place's royal architecture and décor is still as lavish as ever.
A few weeks ago, the Marriott travelled back in time and hosted one of today's most royal events. Renowned local designer Yasmine Yahia introduced her first collection to the public after nine years of anticipation.
This time, the alluring marble staircase witnessed the first public appearance of Yahia's ornamented dresses which were embellished with pearl and hand-made embroidery.
The event was powered by Pashion magazine, while IRAM Jewelry completed the 10 gowns with dazzling diamond touches, and Flower Power amazed the crowd with their setup and decoration.
This extravaganza witnessed the collaboration of several leading professionals such Kriss beauty salons, make-up artist Kiki Ismail and Fashion Factory agency.
After the event, Daily News Egypt met the lady behind Egypt's most famous bridal label, Yasmine Yahia, to discuss bridal gowns, local fashion evolution and her personal techniques.
