Mauve Sleeves
Hanan Sharifa Mauve Sleeves Set - Size Small
Featured in Vogue
Moroccan-American designer, Hanan Sharifa, creates plucked-from-the-renaissance creations. These puffy, baroque pieces come in a rich color rotation. Every garment is painted, printed, and hand-sewn by Hanan; an intention set to avoid the mechanical operations of fast fasion.
My garments are meant to be worn in a daydream. My work oscillates between the real and the spiritual, intended as a vehicle to liminality. As a complex individual with an atypical upbringing, my identity as a Moroccan American woman is at the center of my practice. I hope that my work allows those who wear it to be transported, to feel as to how I’ve felt, existing in another world and state of mind.
In Arabic, ‘Hanan’ translates to ‘compassionate’, or ‘tender.’ I print my name in Arabic not only as a way to validate it to Western audiences but also to divert our understanding of English as a global standard. I want to dispel the stigma of Arabic as a potentially dangerous language, living in a post 911 world, and transform Americans’ perception to see the Arabic language exists on somethign beautiful. To have the word “tender” on our bodies reminds us of our collective empathy as humans, experiencing this world together.
Size Small
Upper arm measurement 11-13”, length 30”
Hand wash + hang dry
Sleeve(s) are hand-sewn poly-satin w/ an elastic band.
