Laila Gohar launches Arket capsule collection at Milan Design Week, reveals minimalist travel style

During Milan Design Week, artist and designer Laila Gohar is unveiling a capsule collection for Arket, with the official launch taking place today. This collection embodies her summer wardrobe, showcasing versatile items such as a black slip dress suitable for multiple occasions. Gohar, who co-founded Gohar World, brought these new designs along with her beloved pieces in a silver Rimowa checked suitcase for her trip to Italy. Her packing style is minimalist; she typically organizes her items just an hour before leaving. Gohar’s travel attire includes tailored garments like crisp button-downs and a silk Prada shift dress, complemented by practical essentials like compression socks. She favors checking luggage to avoid the hassle of navigating airports with too much, carrying a Bottega Veneta Andiamo tote as her daily bag. Preferring tailored pants and a jacket over athleisure, she also strategically packs fewer items for longer trips, relying on hotel dry cleaning. Additionally, she brings specific beauty products, such as Caudalie Beauty Elixir spray, and prioritizes hydration while flying. Her packing philosophy has shifted from strict carry-on only to occasionally checking bags, particularly for design events like Salone del Mobile.
