For fash­ion de­sign­er Saleem Samuel, style is more than fab­ric and form—it is sto­ry­telling, es­capism and imag­i­na­tion stitched in­to every gar­ment.

The Bel­mont-based de­sign­er’s lat­est body of work, the Monte Car­lo Re­sort Col­lec­tion, draws in­spi­ra­tion from the famed Cir­cuit de Mona­co, a des­ti­na­tion long as­so­ci­at­ed with pres­tige, roy­al­ty, lux­u­ry and in­ter­na­tion­al glam­our.

Through a care­ful­ly cu­rat­ed blend of tex­tures, sil­hou­ettes and time­less colours, Samuel seeks to trans­port wear­ers in­to a world of so­phis­ti­ca­tion while of­fer­ing a glimpse in­to fash­ion’s evolv­ing fu­ture.
