Egyptian Designer Sahar Ahmed Presents Dazzling Loom Designs

Egyptian designer Sahar Ahmed loved the locally made loom fabrics and found them to be a source of inspiration to create distinctive pieces from them.

The designs were based on the fabrics of Al Mariah, Al-Shahi, and Alaga, which are all locally made fabrics that are spun on the loom and were mainly used at the beginning of the last millennium in Egypt for designs kabyle, Kaftan and shawl.

Ahmed worked for years as a mechanical engineer but decided to leave the secured job and work on designs that match her taste and ideas and presented collections under the title of “Rainbow”, which was named after her love of colors.
