A contemporary-level womens and menswear collection revealing the animated qualities of Egypt, Mirage explores representation of a place not understood by the western eye. Mirage explores the illusion of a culture conventionally defined by antiquity. Curated for 26-37 year olds searching for multi-functional unique and elevated casualwear, indulging at a luxury price point. This collection ponders what it means for landmarks to live harmoniously with the people of the land. When viewing Egypt from a distance, stationary and proportionally- large landmarks may only be remarked upon. When magnified, Egypt’s tiniest crevices hold mounds of maximalism only revealed through adjacency. Mirage is characterized by the revelation of embellished surface design beneath a layer of beauty identified by the perfect constructs from outside. A rectified representation, Mirage encapsulates actuality through exaggerated and architectural proportions, an emphasis on pleating and beading, and the juxtaposition between solid and ornamented, and stationary and moving.
