A Meeting of Cultures
Fashioning 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.

description
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. Organised around three themes, “Disruptors”, “Our Land”, and “Threads”, the catalogue showcases fashion practitioners from across North Africa who work to retain cultural distinctiveness while adapting to contemporary concerns ranging from sustainability to gender identity.
