“Connectedly Disconnected” is a collection inspired by my upbringing. Growing up between Egypt, Italy and Norway has left me with a sense of rootlessness. Whilst adapting to new cultures has allowed me to feel more connected to one place, the many cultural barriers faced have allowed me to feel disconnected to my home country, Italy. My narrative explores this feeling of coexisting with the longing for belonging through a nostalgic look back at 1950s baseball uniforms with elements of tailoring. For all 6 looks, I have incorporated italian and british wool as well as 100% Egyptian linen sourced from Egypt.The garments in this collection are detail focused,the womenswear garments are inspired by double breasted baseball uniforms whilst the men’s looks are reminiscent of their baseball uniforms featuring baseball jerseys with piping and pinstripe trousers. The intention behind this collection is to create tailored timeless pieces with a sophisticated and classic twist.
