ZAID FAROUKI

A fashion house that is determined to blur the lines between fashion and art. With such a global background being as an Arab American as well as being educated in the Italian fashion techniques I found inspiration in the fusion of cultures. Imagining a woman adorned by European clean cuts, true American liberties, and the ever-existent Arab dramatization has helped me to create the globally hybrid woman, a representative of a new globalized world and the woman whom I yearn to design for. My pieces are all hand made and abide by couture techniques, embroidery, and finishing. Furthermore all my prints are hand painted onto the fabric therefore the wearer becomes a walking piece of art.
