A Dubai designer has come up with a unique collection of hotel uniforms which is inspired by the city.
Francois Desroches's collection titled Notorious, was unveiled recently at a fashion show at Coral Deira.
“Notorious is my tribute to Dubai – a city that's always on the go. In my opinion uniforms need not be boring. Often they are made to be plain and dull in the name of practicality,'' said Francois, Creative Director, MPJ – Marketing Pro-junction.
“ I would like to say that a colourful attire in no way makes you look less serious or less functional. Sixty per cent of the workforce in most dynamic cities like Dubai wears uniforms. These have got to be exciting and fun. Something that one should look forward to wearing everyday,'' he added.
Notorious, which will be worn by staff across all properties managed by Coral Hotels & Resorts, is divided into three lines: Majestic for 5-star plus hotels; City Chic for 4-star hotels and Fantasy for resorts.
The Majestic Line mixes ethnic elegance with cultural overtones. The City Line - a combination of modern practicality and cheerful colours - impeccably tailored slick jackets paired with black skirts / trousers and The Fantasy Line features floral prints, dramatic blouses and breezy cuts.
