    On the catwalk in Jordan on Saturday (June 4) was the latest collection of evening and bridal wear by designer Zainab al Kisswani.
    Models strutted their stuff in white dresses -- that Kisswani said epitomised elegant simplicity.
    "The key feature of this new collection is its colours. They are bright and strong summer colours as well as emphasising simplicity, " Kisswani told Reuters on the fringes of the fashion show in Amman.
    Jordan represents a growing market in the world of fashion, luring expatriates from the oil rich gulf states and tourists from around the region.
    Kisswani said some of the country's products, including local-made headscarfs and cloaks, can even be found in top European stores in Italy and France.
