The last highlight of the day was the Beirut based designer Eric Ritter, creative director of EMERGENCY ROOM, and his “Neverland” collection. The sustainable approach of the brand, which typically uses upcycled materials, was reflected in the presentation, in which a diverse cast of models showed off the new line.
The brand cast clients, fans, and supporters to walk the runway to a voice over by the creative director telling the story of his beloved Beirut and the current challenges it faces.
The collection was created from upcycled fabric and bed sheets.
