GRADUATING CLASS OF 2025
دفعة 2025
المتخرجة
Iftikhar Kanawati (Tripoli, Lebanon - age 23) presents Chronic Grief, a collection that navigates the emotional aftermath of losing her mother, using torn fabrics, textured surfaces, and a hand-dyed palette to express numbness, rebellion, and the slow integration of loss into daily life.
Mostafa Al Sous (Saida, Lebanon - age 27) unveils Baw7, a collection that transforms decades of repressed trauma into layered, tactile garments made from bedsheets, silicone, and waxed textures, each piece a step toward articulating long-silenced pain.
Jihan Azzam (Niha, Lebanon - age 26) debuts Vessels, a spiritually rooted collection inspired by the Druze concept of reincarnation, where pleats, cyanotype prints, and layered silhouettes trace the soul’s journey through time, memory, and transformation.
Patile Tachjian (Beirut, Lebanon - age 23) shares Adieu B2079, a deeply personal collection that reconstructs the textures and memories of her childhood home through crochet, beading, and playful silhouettes, offering a tender farewell to a space filled with love and legacy.
