On the occasion of London Fashion Week, the Arab British Centre in London is hosting Blueprint Beirut. It showcases the best of Lebanese fashion alongside designers from 23 other countries including Egypt, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
Curated by Tala Hajjar, co-founder of the Starch Foundation and designed by Starch Foundation architect Elie Metni, the exhibition is set inside a traditional Lebanese home and, as such, reflects fashion’s journey to a future still grounded in Mediterranean heritage.
