The looks curated for the Fall 2022/2023 collection translate what it means to have gone through only what humans can go through. The choice of the black color mainly showcases the closeness we've had to death and the funerals we've had to attend. It revolves around the losses Lebanon had to endure on August 4th 2020. The collection is a personal anecdote put into textiles and fabric prints.The print included also comes from a sin we face in the Islamic culture: being inked has always been a gesture of unfaithfulness. It is about the decoration of one’s already built-in skin and beauty. The inspiration came from residing in the United Arab Emirates and seeing how Henna is simply a decoration of one’s skin and is not looked at as unfaithful which is both contradictory yet beautiful. I sketched the Henna myself with small symbols incorporating the Seven Deadly Sins. The beige finishing resulting from the burning of 100% Black Cotton reflects the remains behind a modern day explosion. Bondaweb, soluble paper and couture stitching were all incorporated to give an elegant feel to a harsh topic.
