QASIMI SS26 — Memory in Motion

Photos by Carola Di Clemente   

Marking its tenth anniversary, QASIMI returned to Milan Fashion Week with a collection that felt both like a homecoming and a leap into the future. Creative Director Hoor Al Qasimi channels the legacy of her late twin brother, Khalid — the brand’s founder — into silhouettes layered with meaning, hybrid tailoring, and textiles that embrace impermanence.

From Memory nylon pleats designed to fade with time, to raw hems and hand-drawn embroidery, each piece is conceived as a living artefact. A collaboration with artist Dala Nasser adds a further layer of intimacy, embedding the garments with traces of place, memory, and transformation.

This season, QASIMI offers more than clothing — it offers dialogue, decay, and the quiet beauty of becoming.
