Samar Kand & Sultana
Diva Hamza Kimono

Samarkand, an ancient city prosperous for its positioning on the silk route, was a crossroads of cultures. Its magnificence comes from constant exchange of ideas which occurred within its fortified walls, giving birth to a unique craft language we celebrate today. Sultana prints We condense and distill moments from the past to make a new through textile.

This capture of a sumptuous velvet and gold thread embroidery is one of many luscious iterations of regalia from the Ottoman period which we fracture, distorted and manipulated.
