Story behind the work
Benali's Atlas Couture line is built with the Amazigh weavers of the Middle Atlas — silhouettes shaped around traditional handira ceremonial cloth, updated for the international runway without erasing a single hand.
A ceremonial-scale gown in hand-embroidered wool with Amazigh silverwork, presented as part of the FAACCE Fashion archive.
