With a history spanning millennia across the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia, henna is steeped in tradition and cultural rituals. The natural dye is typically used to create temporary, intricate body art for religious festivals and celebrations, such as weddings.
Now, Dubai-based designer Azra Khamissa is on a mission to give the ancient practice a modern makeover.
A pioneer of striking minimalist designs, Khamissa has built a following of more than 100,000 on Instagram, and her creative ideas have led to brand collaborations with fashion houses including Gucci and Fendi.
