Top Egyptian fashion designers you should be following
Egyptian attire hasn’t always been so open to the world. Apart from the culture standards and limitations of what to wear and what not to wear., it hasn’t always been that easy.
Going back to the ancient times where pharos roamed around the Egyptian pyramids, wearing nothing but subtle loincloth or short kilts to get through the heat.
Over the decades, fashion has changed. Nowadays fashion has become very OUTSPOKEN to say the least. Attire has become a way of self-expression. A presentation of whom a person really is.
The 21st century has had its share of fashion do’s and fashion don’ts. In Egypt, Egyptian designers have been trying to make a statement in the fashion industry. In this article you will come across the most known Egyptian fashion designers that have not only come out, they have also made a HUGE style impact worldwide.
