LES BENJAMINS × AZRA Capsule Collection
APRIL 11, 2022
Best known for her viral geometric henna designs, Dubai raised chiropractor-turned-artist Dr. Azra expands on her visual storytelling through an exclusive capsule collection with LES BENJAMINS launched in-stores and online last April 8th.
Using the traditional art of henna to expand on the contemporary aesthetics of henna design, Azra–whose full name is Azra Khamissa–collaborated with LES BENJAMINS on a unisex collection that mirrors the East-meets-West synergy that encompasses both the brand and Azra herself.
Comprising 14 pieces, the collection includes a nineties inspired denim two-piece (jacket and matching jeans) with a daisy patchwork motif, emblazoned with the phrase ‘Peace in the Middle East’ across the back. The same phrase and checkerboard motif continues across long and short sleeved t-shirts, burgundy and sage green sweatshirts, relaxed-fit trousers, long skirts and loose shirts as well as a leather ‘Lulu’ bag.
Opening up about the meaning and inspiration behind the collection, Azra says “Launching the ‘Peace in the Middle East’ collection during Ramadan is a reminder that for some people, this month isn’t easy nor is it peaceful. I hope and pray that this changes”.
