Renowned Egyptian jewellery design house Azza Fahmy announced a collaboration with French Balmain Balmain Fashion House, on a stunning bustier inspired by Ancient Egyptian Legacy.
Partnering up with Balmain, Azza Fahmy received inspiration in the form of ancient Egypt and, through channeling new realms of creativity, created a masterpiece that pushes the boundaries of design, according to a statement.
Fashioning a cultural yet contemporary bustier that reflects the heritage of our predecessors, Azza Fahmy is thrilled to be working with the international luxury fashion house Balmain and is eager to continue showcasing the ingenuity of Egyptian designers to the world.
Azza Fahmy fashioned a gold-plated bustier sculpted in the shape of the Eye of Horus. The lotus element represents the sun, rebirth, and creation.
Complementing the back of the bustier are the hand-pierced wings outstretched across both sides, evoking the protective wings of the goddess Nekhbet. Six Shen rings complete the back of the bustier, each a symbol of eternity and protection. For the finishing touch, a chain with a scarab adorns the back of the piece, representing creation, renewal, and rebirth.
Amina Ghali, Head of Design, expressed that "seeing the final piece gave us a sense of pride; it truly is a wonderful tribute to our ancestors."
Ghali said: "This partnership celebrates Azza Fahmy's contributions to reviving and restoring the legacy of ancient Egypt, echoing the brand's primary aim of reimagining history and traditions into wearable art."
She continued: "Azza Fahmy is delighted to be a part of Balmain's Pre-Spring 2023 collection".
