Arabian Nights

A romanticized fantasy aesthetic drawing from the imagery of 'One Thousand and One Nights' tales — Scheherazade, Aladdin, Ali Baba — filtered through Orientalist art and contemporary reimagining, celebrating the opulence of a mythologized Middle Eastern court fantasy. Common pieces include harem pants or draped palazzo trousers in silk brocade, cropped jeweled tops or halters, pointed-toe babouche slippers in embroidered leather, layered veil or sheer fabric as accessories, coin-fringe belts and headpieces, layered gold jewelry, and kohl-rimmed eye makeup.
