Selly Raby Kane (Senegal) belongs to a new generation of urban, curious and open-minded artists and designers bringing revived energy to Senegalese culture. Expressing a strong and rebellious personality, the collections use three-dimensional moulded shapes, bold patterns and unusual materials including PVC and fake hair.

Bodice (India) reinterprets classics through modern tailoring. Using India’s indigenous textiles and natural dyes, they achieve modernity whilst showing a respect for craft. Producing garments fairly is just one of the ways their designs evoke the ideals of a Utopian community.

Mashael AlRajhi (Saudi Arabia) designs for both men and women. Embracing its cultural roots, the brand is pioneering in the use of new fabrics, breathing life into old handcrafted techniques. Their AW16 collection, ‘3’, transforms triangulated principles into an expression of unity.
