FUSIONNOW 1: Russian industry from the eyes of foreign travellers
In the Taimyr Museum of Local Lore, Dudinka, Russia.
“I plan to create a new collection inspired by the stunning details that I saw in Norilsk. The patterns traditional for Taimyr will be combined with the spirit and materials of Egypt. To get a fusion as a result, I will use these two cultures and combine them. I plan that some of the items in the collection will be embroidered and made by the craftswomen from Taimyr, as they have the unique needlework skills. I want to crown the project with fashion shows both in Russia - the country that inspired me to think about this collection - and in Egypt, the country, in which I first came up with the idea of working with ethnic cultures. This will promote the two cultures and reveal their full beauty in the smallest detail.”
