Shot in London on the 23rd of September 2023, working with Stylist Harley Graham and Photographer Sophie Webster, Ayham has featured his pieces in these images to demonstrate how collaboration through multiple mediums can put a new perspective on his work.
Ayham Hassan Musleh is a 24-year-old Palestinian fashion designer studying at Central Saints Martins in London. He believes design to be a source of power and improvement, a means of manifesting a better world. This is reflected in his raw, visceral, and earthy aesthetic which highlights how fashion is so much more than just a dress or form of expression. It is a means of protection. His work disrupts the fabric of constructed life and encourages people to confront concerns in Arab and Palestinian communities.
