Fashion week in Ramallah!

 Palestinians in the shmata business? Apparently.

This was fashion week in Ramallah. The three-day shows featured local  and regional designers, and  included both short dresses and traditional wear. .

"The collections showed a blend of traditional Palestinian embroidery and modern designs. A creation by Jordanian-Palestinian designer Intisar Abdo mixed Arabic calligraphy on chiffon for a stunning evening dress. Designer Fayzeh Pearl showed off more traditional designs, including beaded wedding dresses and colorful formal attire."

Check out a slideshow of some of the outfits, here

What? Were you expecting this, maybe?





The three-day show, which ended Saturday, saw models prowl the catwalk in the only major fashion show in the Palestinian territories. Their outfits included both short dresses and conservative frocks with headscarves.
