Three ASFOUR Insalaam Inshalom – “Judaism and Islam can live side by side” Here is a mixture of different backgrounds the Judaism and Islam, the designers (Three ASFOUR) are Gabi Asfour, Adi Gil and Ange Donhauser, who runs a fashion label since 1998.This collection influenced by both culture, they have used Israelis and Palestinians both: six pointed stars and kaffiyeh patterns, the evil eye and the Hamsa designs. I was interested with peace and unity message given and were presented on their Spring/Summer 2012 collection, the silhouette was symbolic motifs with print techniques on billowing, fluttering silk chiffon and silk de chine dresses, on the other hand I find it quiet modernist designs collaborating both traditional printed fabrics, which I think It works really well together. The patterns and the colours were visually effective and I was impressed with the ideas.
“We’ve accumulated the energy of artists and performers who are like-minded,” Asfour said. “We tried to balance things from all sides, though it’s always difficult.”
I found these images while i was doing my research online, the exhibition caught my eye, i personaly did like it and the concept was really inspirational.
“Fashion and beauty are tools to promote togetherness and unity in different countries and cultures,” Gil said. “We hope we can inspire other people to work together and not be scared of working together.”
This is one of the pieces I liked inside the collection, it is a skin colour breastplate were small broken pieces of ceramic were embellished on top, the ceramic had traditional floral designs and mostly blue colours been used. Visually impressive and affective, but my favourite one was brown dress with metallic motif were embellished all over also two Hamas metalic design was used on middle of the waist and the bottom section of the dress. This is traditionally designed in detailed, which I loved it because its sronger piece and it reflect to the concept. The three-colour combination of brown, metal (which is silver) also blue lines were great together.
