Collection: Migration 23
‘Migration’ co-designed with Deerah, is a collection made to reflect the state of a displaced Palestinian. A fusion of tradition and innovation. Using old and familiar techniques to create relevant and modern piece, a practice our ancestors used to create their traditional clothing. Unlike what is known about Palestinian embroidery, the women were designers creating and learning new techniques constantly. This skill was later harnessed by the women forced into exile and exposed to different fashion trends suddenly. This is the story of a woman creating in her new environment with the skills of her elders. A rebellious union of old and new.
The collection is designed by Meera Albaba and Sara Jayyusi, Palestinian business owners and entrepreneurs.
