Last year, I released a few pieces that incorporated calligraphy of an Arabic love poem by Mahmoud Darwish, a revolutionary Palestinian poet. 100% of the proceeds made from the Love Language pieces will be donated to disaster relief organizations providing aid to Palestinians.

The most difficult thing I’ve ever made - a cotton twill dress with box pleats that are individually sewn in place on the bodice.

Last year I discovered one of my favorite Arabic love poems. I spent the next year trying to figure out how to incorporate it into clothing somehow. Now that it’s done, I feel like I completed a journey not just a collection.

In 2020 I began learning how to sew and make patterns as a lockdown hobby. In 2022 I went viral and built a career out of doing what I love.

Once the tulle was embroidered, I started having fun and using it in any design I could think of. A lot of them looked great honestly, but I ended up going with this robe and slip dress for the first wave.

I wanted the design, when worn, to look like it was directly on the skin, so I chose to embroider the calligraphy onto a fabric called invisible tulle. The photo on the right is the first sample.

The most wonderful thing about weightlifting is that it (the self-talk that occurs just before I lift the barbell, the self talk when I regress etc.) gives me an opportunity to understand my thought patterns and practice being kind/patient with myself.
