Meet Dubai's Creative Director and Stylist, Doha Challah. She guides us through crafting a chic capsule collection from Bouguessa's FW23. Unveiling the must-have versatile piece that seamlessly works for the Dubai winter, combining style and comfort. Let Doha be your guide in elevating your winter wardrobe with this exclusive essential.

Can you guide us through creating a capsule collection with 5 items from the latest Bouguessa FW23 collection?

This first look combines everything you need in a capsule collection. Start with the Wei Turtleneck top - it's versatile and effortlessly chic. You can pair it with everything from jeans to skirts. Next, the Alba oversized double shirt - an absolute must! It's perfect for a polished look with trousers or a casual vibe when worn open over a tee. Then, the Jill Signature Blazer and Jill Signature Pants. Wear the  the Jill Signature Blazer over a dress or jeans to add a cool edge, and the Jill Signature Pants can be dressed up and down to suit your style and occasion. And finally, a great coat. The Ross long coat coat is modern, and a great investment, its structured shoulders will instantly elevate any outfit.

What do you feel is a must-have versatile piece that one must have that can work for the Dubai winter but can also be incorporated in a winter packing list for cold weather? 

For both Dubai's mild winters and colder destinations, the Irina Faux Leather skirt is your go-to this season. It's trendy and adaptable. Wear it with the Moez t-shirt and loafers during the day, or a bodysuit and heels at night. When in colder spots, add a cropped sweater, tights, and boots for a cozy, chic look.

What are the latest trends for shoes or accessories that you feel can elevate the previously described capsule collection and make it cool and trendy?

Accessories are a great way to inject trends into to your capsule wardrobe and get you excited about getting dressed.Think red or metallic shoes and bags to add a pop of color and shine. Bags with embellishments or textures are in, and for a bold trend statement, go for an XL bag. Also, chunky earrings and necklaces are the accessories to watch this season.
