Designer Rami Kashou
Live Studio Visit
Toronto Palestine Film Festival visits Palestinian fashion designer Rami Kashou in his New York studio - a rare glimpse into the world of high fashion. We will chat with Rami about his designs, and the stories they tell with his use of Palestinian textile, embroidery and shapes. From gowns to masks, Rami’s creations reinterpret Palestine’s traditional designs for a modern time.
Hailing from Ramallah, Rami Kashou’s groundbreaking feminine designs attract many high profile celebrities to his New York fashion week runway shows. He was also a fan favourite as the runner-up in season 4 of Bravo’s Project Runway and again on Project Runway: All Stars. Last year, his designs were featured at an exhibition celebrating Palestinian embroidery at the United Nations.
