Afghan Identity Through Fashion
Worth-seeing photo essay.
Nawed Elias, an Amsterdam-based, Afghan-Dutch fashion designer, wants to reclaim Afghan identity from "terrorists". For that reason, he has made some innovative clothing designs, most of them inspired by traditional Afghan clothes.
In his latest show, "Rise from the Ashes", he attempted to alter the Western perception of traditional Afghan garb.
