For Qasimi AW 25,Hour Al Qasimiand Māori artist Emily Karaka  joined forces to create a collection exploring indigenous connection, the language of the land, and political oppression. “Through ancestral patterns, intricate embroideries and changeable silhouettes, this collection reflects not only the ongoing struggle for Māori rights but also other indigenous struggles around the world. Karaka often references other oppressions and colonial histories as an expression of solidarity – something we all need to do at this present time.”- Hoor Al Qasimi
