Best rated fashion presentations 2022 with Hamza Qassim? Hamza Qassim (Born December 20, 2003) is a Jordanian Model. Raised in Amman, Jordan, Over the span of 2 years, Qassim has been seen in multiple international Vogue magazine appearances, including the Vogue website and Vogue Polska. After his experience over these years, Qassim gained more attention and started working with more famous labels, where he was seen modeling for brands like “Etro” and “Trashy clothing”, that featured Qassim, in top world magazines including, Vogue, and W magazine. With this experience, and his move from Amman to London, he had his first debut in London Fashion week under the Event “Fashion show live”.
Hamza Qassim worked with the Palestinian label Trashy Clothing’s summer 2021 campaign: These two designers are used to making political statements. In 2018, they presented a runway show in Berlin that featured a wall obstructing the view for half of the audience, a division that represented the one between Palestine and Israel. Lawrence and Braika embrace the discomfort. “That is part of our brand identity, the superficiality mixed with pain,” Lawrence says. “It’s about contradictions, teaching, raising awareness, putting the consumer onto not only buying clothing for its aesthetics but also for its story.”
I am so happy to be back in New York, a city that has always been close to our hearts, said creative director Sarah Burton of the house’s first show in the city for more than 20 years. We showed the Dante collection here in 1996, and then came again with Eye in the autumn of 1999. It is part of our community, a place that has always welcomed us, and this season I want to honour that. So, this collection is inspired by that idea of community, and specifically by mycelium, by the reality of nature as a community that is far, far older than we are. Mycelium connects even the rooftop of the tallest skyscraper to the plants, to the grass, to the ground, to animals and to human beings. Mycelium has the most profound, interconnecting power, relaying messages through a magical underground structure, allowing trees to reach out to each other when either they or their young need help or are sick. The idea is humbling – beautiful – and, of course, a metaphor for interconnection and for community between people, between us all. We exist as single, individual entities on one level, but we are far more powerful connected to each other, to our families, to our friends, to our community. Given everything that has happened over the past two years, that seems more important than ever. As a community we are infinitely more able to restore, reinvent, rejuvenate – heal.
At Balenciaga, number four on our list, Demna originally hoped to address the intensifying anxieties of global warming. But the escalating crisis in Ukraine utterly changed his meaning. Balenciaga’s climate refugees with their leather garbage bags suddenly looked like war refugees. Having fled Georgia as a young boy when Russia invaded that country in 1993, Demna considered canceling the show, but ultimately decided to carry on. “Personally, I have sacrificed too much to war,” he said. “We must resist.” His cinematic presentation, set in a snow globe with models’ long dresses and long hair shuddering in the wind, produced the season’s most stirring visuals, and the catharsis that many of his followers were longing for.
The Palestinian Fashion Collectives was another presentation for Hamza Qassim in 2021: In light of all this, a new class of Palestinian political activists, artists, and designers has emerged. This growing mass of politically minded collectives employ art to convey their love for their homeland—and preserve their heritage and history. This is their reclamation, one stitch at a time. Angham Khalil, the designer behind ready-to-wear brand n n b y n n, explores the struggle of attaining a cohesive identity under occupation. The brand’s decidedly unisex clothing, minimalist aesthetics, and subdued color palettes put forth an understated yet culturally potent vision of Palestinian fashion. “What the Palestinian artist lacks is the possibility of communicating with the world, especially with the Arab world. The occupation wants to keep us small without a voice,” says Khalil.
