Beskrivning

The rich heritage of Saudi Arabia is a unique tapestry woven by numerous tribes unified under one nation. This varied landscape of taste and aesthetic is best illustrated in the traditional fashions adopted in the regions across the country. Organized into five provinces (north, south, east, west, and central), Saudi Costumes reflects the overlap in style between those tribes that lived in similar terrains or were geographically adjacent. This title explores the diverse influences that have affected the cultural DNA and style of Saudi Arabia.Her Highness Princess Noura bint Faisal Al Saud and Siân Tichař journeyed across the Kingdom to source meaningful ensembles and rare accessories that speak to the country’s diverse fashion history. These pieces were then expertly photographed by Laziz Hamani and compiled in this volume to present a never-before-published collection of Saudi heritage, through the medium of costumes.The Ultimate Collection is an homage to the art of luxury bookmaking. Hand-bound using traditional techniques, with color plates hand-tipped on art-quality paper, each edition tome of this series bears the unique imprint of the artisan.
