Inspired by Bastet, the ancient Egyptian cat goddess, this piece reimagines her symbolism of protection, elegance, and feminine power through a contemporary design. The embroidery merges stylized cats with Egyptian botanical forms, creating a connection between heritage, nature, and modern fashion.
Made from lightweight linen in a muted sage green, the dress features a relaxed, flowing silhouette with hand-embroidered cats and botanical motifs in earthy rust and soft ivory tones. The embroidery flows diagonally across the dress, creating a modern interpretation of ancient Egyptian imagery.
This piece is part of Karamah, a project celebrating Egyptian-inspired design and craftsmanship. The embroidery was crafted by the women of Stabl Antar, bringing traditional Egyptian artistry into a contemporary garment.
