Cotton pastels and flowery embroidery are among the first things one sees when entering Sheep, a shop located in Zamzama. The collection, despite its name, boasts only cotton garments. The most eye-catching piece in the room is an inspired creation in the centre: the almost life-size, cotton sheep replications. The colourful creations are reminiscent of spring, with their light, airy patterns and flowing designs. The fact that the clothes are wearable is a definite plus point, unlike many designer creations that are only suitable for mannequins or runway models.
