In August 2020, the founders of Malimania decided to realise their long-held dream by gathering a group of people who shared their background to create their first-ever editorial. After publishing the images online, Malimania was surprised to receive tons of feedback worldwide, exclaiming how long-needed this kind of images had been within the fashion world.
This exhibition is a story of Nadir and Salma, tracing their roots through the combination of culture, fashion, and art. Malimania’s mission is to inspire people to acknowledge their roots as a unique strength, not a weakness, and to emphasize the importance of intercultural exchange and diversity in the 21st century, both in fashion and culture more broadly.
The photos in the exhibition were taken by Hayley Lê and Salamata Mboup.
