- Summary
- COI synopsis: One of the most prominent designers in the world of fashion is Thea Porter. Her influence is considerable and still growing; but Thea Porter, brought up in the Middle East, is inspired by Arab dress which in turn influences her own designs for clothes. It seems a fitting opportunity for us to complete the circle and show to Arab audiences the work of an Arab-inspired European designer.
