We met these talented angels on a trip to Dubai. They opened their arms and the city to us warmly and made us feel at home. Azra has magic in her hands and is our favourite contemporary henna artist. She uses the hand as a canvas and works henna like we’ve never seen before. While making these Alta shirts, we thought about Azra and her clean lines and her respect for traditional craft. |
Aqib captures really human images, bringing out the light and honesty in all of his subjects. We were excited to give our friends these Alta shirts cause we knew they’d make this magic happen. Aqib with Azra and her sister, Zahra in the Khawaneej Date Farms. |
