Qasimi Reflects on Time and Trace in Milan

QASIMI Fashion Show in Milan, June 2025

At Milan Fashion Week, QASIMI marked a decade with a show that felt more like a meditation than a spectacle. Drawing from the brand’s Middle Eastern roots and its founder Khalid Al Qasimi’s poetic worldview, the collection reimagined garments as living archives - holding traces, creases, and impressions of time.

Under the direction of Hoor Al Qasimi, the Spring/Summer 2026 collection is a tactile narrative about memory, transformation, and hybridity.

Layering becomes a device to echo the complexity of experience. Loose threads, frayed hems, and deliberately unfinished edges borrow the visual language of artist Dala Nasser, whose practice informed the collection’s sense of quiet resistance and soft decay. Modular tailoring, hybrid silhouettes, and repurposed fabrics reinforced QASIMI’s commitment to craft, cultural memory, and a slower, more intentional kind of fashion.
