Harmonizing Heritage and Environment in Saudi Evening Gowns via Camel Shape Inspiration

This research presents a unique collection of evening wear inspired by the anatomy of the camel, blending nature’s raw beauty with high fashion. Drawing from the camel’s graceful neck, powerful humps, resilient legs, and soft fur, each model transforms these features into sculptural, wearable art. The collection explores the balance between structure and fluidity, strength and elegance, reimagining the camel’s symbolism of endurance and grace. By employing carefully selected materials and innovative silhouettes, these gowns evoke the camel’s majestic presence, creating luxurious and timeless pieces. This work highlights the transformative power of nature in design, offering a fresh perspective on how animal anatomy can elevate couture fashion and bridge the gap between the natural world and high-end luxury. The statistical component of this research aims to analyze responses from a survey conducted among 80 postgraduate students, including 30 specializing in fashion design and 50 from other disciplines. The high approval rate supports the hypothesis that the connection between camel anatomy and fashion is positively received across various academic fields, with minor variations in responses anticipated between fashion design students and those from other disciplines. This survey strongly validates the innovative approach of this research, signaling potential for future exploration and application in the fashion industry.
