For all the art lovers, SANDRO’s Spring/Summer 2025 Women’s collection is inspired by the artistic world of Louise Bourgeois.

Key pieces include flowing shirts, airy dresses, a patchwork parasol skirt, and a wide-brimmed hat, crafted from natural fabrics like linen, cotton, and silk. Geometric patterns and Mediterranean-inspired blue hues capture both Bourgeois’s spirit and the Parisian brand’s identity. The collection is available at a special pop-up in Mall of the Emirates until April 24, 2025.
