Making its debut in America is Areej Creations, an Arabian clothing and sportswear line that features the art of Areej Turki. Entitled Brushstrokes, the collection consists of elegant, comfortable lounge wear with bold motifs from Turki's personal oil paintings. Because of the artistic influence, the collection is available in three different color palettes: blue, green and purple.

Brushtrokes will be featured in spas and resorts nationwide this fall/winter and is ideal for exercise, pilates, yoga, lounge wear and for running around town. “I am incredibly excited about Brushstrokes. Not only is it comfortable but it is fashionable. I want the women wearing it to feel beautiful while relaxing and enjoying being pampered, after all, that is what visiting a spa is about,” says designer, Areej Turki. Areej’s designs are characterized by her vibrant use of color and graphic themes that encompass a hybrid of sensuality and surrealism.

Areej Turki is an Arabian artist and designer with education from the United Kingdom and spends her time in Paris, Los Angeles and Riyadh. Turki has a strong background in Fine Arts and is constantly exploring the limits of her own creativity. While she is usually highly involved in interior decorating, advertising and publicity, currently fashion is her main focus. “I am looking forward to the success of this collection. I put a lot a heart and soul into the designing of these creations and I look forward to seeing them on women everywhere.”
