Monochrome Monday: The Silver Chrome Edition

Silver chrome is shaping the season across MENA and global runways, picked up by designers for its ability to mirror, reflect and harden a silhouette. In Maram’s collection it cuts into a 1960s-style shift paired with high-shine boots. Sara Onsi sets sequins into fluid draping, while Balmain lifts the finish into swimwear, a bikini glinting like steel under light. Double A slices chrome leather into angular, architectural tailoring.

The same emphasis appears in accessories. Marzook’s capsule clutch is positioned between handbag and object, Nawbar scales hoops into jewellery that carries the sheen of steel, and Alfabet Evening frames a corset with metallic structure that reads as couture armour.

This edit brings together designers from Cairo to Paris, tracing how chrome is being used not as accent but as the core of design.
