Where design and purpose align
By Quinn Catabui.
In the heart of Palestine, resilience knows no bounds, and these Palestinian designers are proof of that. These emerging brands are reshaping the fashion landscape, leaving a trailblazing mark on the region.
From dressing Queen Rania of Jordan to pioneering avant-garde Arab design, these Palestinian creatives are leading the way forward.
NAFSIKA SKOURTI
This Palestinian brand was founded by sisters Nafsika and Stephanie Skourti who believe in using their morality and design intellect to create a fashion brand that grows in value.
