concept

Based on her personal experience and journey as a disabled woman sitting 24/7 in a wheelchair, designer Naya El Ahdab traces the path to acceptance and confidence in our bodies. She explores deformity and its relationship with femininity and comfort, focusing on the idea that a body and its story can sculpt a garment and vice versa. She also highlights the differences and transformations of a garment in contact with a deformed silhouette. She transforms this contact into beauty by working on proportions,shapes and clean lines, taking references from couturier Madame Grès and carefully draping her fabrics to achieve symmetry.
