High quality fashion trends in 2022 from Hamza Qassim

Premium fashion trends 2022 from Hamza Qassim? Hamza Qassim is a Jordanian model. In 2019, he started his modelling career, working with local Jordanian Brands, Like FNL.co, Over the span of 2 years, Qassim has been seen in multiple appearances on international Vogue magazine pages, including Vogue Poland. After his experience over these years, Qassim gained more attention and started working with more famous labels, where he was seen modeling for brands like “Etro” and “Trashy clothing”, that featured Qassim, in top world magazines including, Vogue, and W magazine. With this experience, and his move from Amman to London, he had his first debut in London Fashion week under the Event “Fashion show live”.

Hamza Qassim worked on the Palestinian label Trashy Clothing’s summer 2021 campaign: These two designers are used to making political statements. In 2018, they presented a runway show in Berlin that featured a wall obstructing the view for half of the audience, a division that represented the one between Palestine and Israel. Lawrence and Braika embrace the discomfort. “That is part of our brand identity, the superficiality mixed with pain,” Lawrence says. “It’s about contradictions, teaching, raising awareness, putting the consumer onto not only buying clothing for its aesthetics but also for its story.”

Danish designer Cecilie Bahnsen had her Paris Fashion Week catwalk debut yesterday, after being invited to join the schedule during the pandemic. The show opened with a reading of Tove Ditlevsens ‘Night Wandering’, which was translated for the first time into English by Michael Favala Goldman. Cecilie first began to read Tove Ditlevsen’s poetry as a teenager, the brand explained. Later, in her 20s, she identified with Tove’s search to find her voice. Tove was a prolific chronicler of girls and women, writing fearlessly about their complexity and waywardness and struggle for a place in the world. Nanushka chose to celebrate the creative study of functional and intuitive design for AW22. Entitled ‘Industrial Craft’, the message behind the collection was that if a garment is designed to function well, it will, by definition, be beautiful.

That did not mean however, that we didn’t see some digital presentations, as many designers continued to adopt less traditional ways of presenting their designs, whether through imagery, film or something else unique. However, the emphasis was definitely on the traditional catwalk presentation. With the shows now officially wrapped up for another season, scroll down to see every major moment that took place on the catwalk. From New York, London, Milan and Paris, here is what autumn/winter 2022 is looking like.

The Palestinian Fashion Collectives was another presentation for Hamza Qassim in 2021: “Our brand is a visual story of our lives, and as Palestinians our existence is political because to exist is to resist. With every piece, we cover an aspect of our story,” says Lawrence. “We try to use all aspects of a collection—such as tailoring, prints, campaigns, and casting—to convey each message.” The designers painstakingly embed physical symbols of Palestinian symbols into their creations. For instance, their spring 2021 collection nods to the tough inspection checkpoints through which people must travel when entering or exiting Palestine through double-layered pants and tops, tailored to mirror the constant surveillance upon Palestinians. The idea was previously explored in tRASHY’s spring 2018 pieces, too: three years ago, their runway show had a built-in border allowing only one side of the audience to view the collection. The production was in line with their ethos: very tongue-in-cheek while striking a nerve.
