Dazzling designs and the multifaceted fashion scene of North Africa.
A Meeting of Cultures is a pathbreaking work focused specifically on contemporary fashion designers and influencers in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt. Lavishly illustrated, it broadens the scope of scholarship on the fashion industry, which to date has focused primarily on American and European designers.
North Africa has always been a crossroads of cultures. To illuminate the myriad facets of the local fashion and fashion industry, this comprehensive publication showcases the works of contemporary fashion designers along with photography by fashion photographers, journalists, and social media influencers. Organized around three themes, Disruptors, Our Land, and Threads, this catalogue showcases the work of fashion practitioners across North Africa who work to retain cultural distinctiveness while adapting to contemporary concerns ranging from sustainability to gender identity.
