Hamza Qassim worked on the Palestinian label Trashy Clothing’s summer 2021 campaign: But look a bit deeper. At the pool, a model is actively being restrained and arrested. Zip ties are hanging from the belts. Imagery of gay Arab icons is plastered onto some of the skirts, as well as sleeveless muscle tanks that boast Armenian prints as an ode to Jerusalem’s Armenian culture and population. Here, Lawrence, who hails from East Jerusalem and is Palestinian with Armenian descent, along with his codesigner Omar Braika, a Palestinian refugee who lives in Jordan, wanted to reference the ongoing checkpoints and inspections that Palestinians have to go through while attempting to cross from into Israel, while also touching on perceptions of gay culture in the Middle East.
Gabriela Hearst is choosing to focus on a specific climate solution in tandem with an overarching aesthetic reference each season. For AW22, this theme was ‘Rewilding’. A progressive approach to conservation that centres on allowing nature to take care of itself. By enabling natural processes to repair damaged ecosystems and restore degraded landscapes, wildlife’s natural rhythms can ultimately create more biodiverse habitats. As part of her research, Hearst spoke to the British author Isabella Tree, whose latest book ‘Wilding — the Return of Nature to a British Farm’ charts the story of her pioneering Rewilding project on the West Sussex farm where she lives. Hearst asked Tree how she deals with climate anxiety, to which she replied, ‘By living in the solution.’
At Balenciaga, number four on our list, Demna originally hoped to address the intensifying anxieties of global warming. But the escalating crisis in Ukraine utterly changed his meaning. Balenciaga’s climate refugees with their leather garbage bags suddenly looked like war refugees. Having fled Georgia as a young boy when Russia invaded that country in 1993, Demna considered canceling the show, but ultimately decided to carry on. “Personally, I have sacrificed too much to war,” he said. “We must resist.” His cinematic presentation, set in a snow globe with models’ long dresses and long hair shuddering in the wind, produced the season’s most stirring visuals, and the catharsis that many of his followers were longing for.
The Palestinian Fashion Collectives was another presentation for Hamza Qassim in 2021: The production of the clothing itself embodies the anguish of border separation. “In many cases, we have not even been able to meet many of the producers we work with in person,” Mjalli explains. And yet, the collective works alongside “an intimate creative network of Palestinians—from fabric vendors in Nablus, to embroiderers in Gaza, to tailors in Ramallah.” Meera Albaba, founder of the Meera Adnan label, makes intimate contemporary wear encompassing the geography and art of Palestine. She consistently seeks to amplify the voices of marginalized Palestinian people, and her garments seek to reclaim the Palestinian narrative. The silhouettes are romantic yet modern; her structured blazers and modest, straight-cut maxi-dresses, are made in a color palette reminiscent of the Palestinian landscape.
