"When you come back from a
long journey, offer your family
something though it only be a
stone." - Lebanese proverb.

Culture and memory gives life to objects. They express who we are, our beliefs, our values.

Growing up in an immigrant family from Lebanon, my parents carried the past within the contents of their luggage. I carried on their traditions whilst starting my own.

Exploring the relationship between material-culture and personal identity, this first lookbook investigates how objects can create new ways to build and re-frame ourselves.
