Refugee Fashion Show
This year’s Women of the World (WOW) festival in London included a special fashion show featuring refugees living in the UK. The show was put on by the British Red Cross and featured clothing from high street retailers donated to the charity.
The show was organized by British Red Cross project manager Nadia Khalef. She said that the show is a way to “celebrate the strength and resilience of women who have been forced to flee their homes.”
The show featured 22 models, all of whom are refugees or have been given asylum in the UK. They walked the runway in clothing from a variety of high street retailers, including H&M, Topshop, and Zara.
Many of the women who took part in the show shared their stories of fleeing their home countries and starting new lives in the UK.
One of the models, Fatoumata, spoke about how she fled her home in the Ivory Coast after her family was killed. She said that taking part in the show was a way to show other refugees that they are not alone.
Another model, Amina, spoke about how she fled Somalia after her family was killed by a bomb. She said that the show was a way to “give something back” to the UK, which has given her a new home.
The show was a moving reminder of the strength and resilience of refugees, who have been forced to flee their homes due to conflict or persecution. It is also a reminder of the important role that fashion can play in empowering women.

Refugee Fashion Show Provides Platform for Emerging Designers
This year’s Refugee Fashion Show, held in Berlin, provided a platform for five young designers who have fled their homes due to conflict or persecution.
The show was organised by the German branch of the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) and featured designs by Aya Sami, a Syrian-born designer who now lives in Berlin; Mahbuba Haq, a designer from Afghanistan; Maria del Carmen Montoya, originally from Colombia; and two Congolese designers, Masha Ma and Nadia Janum.
The show was held as part of the ‘Women of the World’ conference, which aims to empower women and girls around the world.
The theme of this year’s conference was ‘Forced to Flee’, and the fashion show aimed to highlight the stories of some of the millions of women and girls who have been forced to flee their homes due to conflict or persecution.
The designers all shared their personal stories of displacement and resilience, and their designs reflected the strength and beauty of refugee women.
Aya Sami, who fled Syria in 2013, said that her designs are “a way of giving something back to the refugee community”. “I want to show that we are just like everyone else,” she said. “We have the same dreams and aspirations.”
Mahbuba Haq, who fled Afghanistan in 2009, said that she hopes her designs will help to break down stereotypes about refugee women.
“People think that we are weak and powerless, but we are not,” she said. “We are strong and we can achieve anything we set our minds to.”
The Refugee Fashion Show is an important platform for emerging designers, and it is also a powerful reminder of the strength and resilience of refugee women.
Annual Event Highlights the Contributions of Refugee Women to the Fashion Industry
The event was founded in 2006 by Catrin Brown, a refugee from Sierra Leone. Brown was inspired to start the show after seeing how refugee women were often portrayed in the media.
“I wanted to show the world that refugee women are not just victims, we are also survivors,” said Brown.
The show features designs by refugee women from all over the world. This year’s designers came from Syria, Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and other countries.
The show is a unique opportunity to see the talent and creativity of refugee women. It is also a reminder of the many contributions refugees make to our society.
“The Refugee Fashion Show is a beautiful example of the power of fashion to bring people together and to celebrate our common humanity,” said UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi.
The show is organized by the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM). It is sponsored by the Governments of Germany and Switzerland.
