significant footwear throughout the ages.
It was also a personal victory for Sultan as

at the V&A says, “We chose Sultan Al
Darmaki’s work because his designs
show individuality and contemporary
global fashion appeal combined
with Middle Eastern influences.”
Darmaki’s autumn/winter collection
not only made a fashion statement but
also presented exquisite art ensembles.
With a heel to suit everyone’s desires,
these timeless pieces are made to last
a lifetime and will go with any outfit.
The Amazonia heel from this collection

another key piece in Darmaki’s collection.

Not only is Sultan Al Darmaki
an innovated and creative individual
but he is also a pioneer for elevating
the entrepreneurial skills in the next
generation of young designers and
artists, by inspiring them to keep the
fashion machine rotating with new ideas
and great imagination. Darmaki’s shoes
not only look great but they also tell a
story. A story of the power a woman
can hold and, with the right footwear,
that woman can be unstoppable.
