A hand-embroidered fashion collection in collaboration with the Parisian/Marseillan Studio Bartaville and The Tunisian Women of Tataouine. The collection features my typographic work which was inspired by the Tunisian legendary poet Ouled Ahmed.
كتبت كتبت فلم يبقى حرف
وصفت وصفت فلم يكفي وصف
أقول إذا باختصار وأمضي
نساء بلادي نساء ونصف
وصفت وصفت فلم يكفي وصف
أقول إذا باختصار وأمضي
نساء بلادي نساء ونصف

"I wrote, I wrote
until I wrote everything
I described, I described
until I described everything
Then, when I left,
In a word, I say:
The women of my country
Are women and a half! "
