It's a night that attracts most of the world's most famous fashion labels to the red carpet - but it wasn't only the runways of Paris or NY represented at the Academy Awards this season.
The 92nd twelve-monthly Oscars, which occurred in LA on Sunday, February 9, received a little extra sparkle thanks to a few of the region's most renowned designers.
However, it had been emerging name Reem Masri, of Syria, who made headlines for a gown she suitable for For Sama director Waad al-Kateab.
The filmmaker, whose study of a family in war-torn Aleppo was nominated for Best Documentary Feature, wore a dress inscribed with Arabic on its train. The passage means: "We dared to dream, and we'll not regret dignity."
