In 2019, he started his modelling career, working with local Jordanian Brands, Like FNL.co, Over the span of 2 years, Qassim has been seen in multiple appearances on international Vogue magazine pages, including Vogue Poland. After his experience over these years, Qassim gained more attention and started working with more famous labels, where he was seen modeling for brands like “Etro” and “Trashy clothing”, that featured Qassim, in top world magazines including, Vogue, and W magazine.

Hamza Qassim worked with the Palestinian label Trashy Clothing’s summer 2021 campaign: In order for Lawrence to visit his friends in Ramallah, Palestine, he has to wait up to two hours to pass a checkpoint, whereas, without a checkpoint, the trip would be only around 20 minutes. To quickly pass though, Lawrence and his friends often dress in skimpier outfits, in hopes of appearing more Western or foreign. In turn, Trashy Clothing underscores this point with pieces that are as easily removable as possible, using accessible zippers and exaggerated slips. “People are often checked on how they look, so if you are dressing in less, you’re less likely to get stopped,” says Lawrence. “When I was younger and we’d go out, we’d put on foreign music, like Italian music, in the car to not be asked for IDs. If we were wearing jackets, we’d take them off. It’s the concept of undressing and being ready to get undressed at any point.”
Our cast of Versace Women for AW22 is exciting, Donatella Versace said of the show. Girls like Avanti, Anyier and Tilly perfectly represent a Versace with new generation attitude and they champion diversity. They embody the energy running through the collection and the looks built on contrast and tension — like an elastic band pulled tight and about to snap-back with a build-up of energy. That feeling is just irresistible to me. It opens new possibilities and makes things happen. For Moschino autumn/winter 2022, creative director Jeremy Scott looked into the archives, specifically, the 1989 and 1990 collections, which had seen Franco Moschino introduce cutlery brooches and hot-and-cold faucet handles as accents in his ready-to-wear. Scott used this as a base, and then found more inspiration in the stately home. A close to home feeling ensued, yet it became complemented by a study bordering on the unusual, if not the Kubrickian: If someone, or something, was tasked with creating the clone of a grand manor today, would baroque picture frames, stately armoires, grandfather clocks and crystal-dripped chandeliers still mark the trappings of a monied dwelling?
At Balenciaga, number four on our list, Demna originally hoped to address the intensifying anxieties of global warming. But the escalating crisis in Ukraine utterly changed his meaning. Balenciaga’s climate refugees with their leather garbage bags suddenly looked like war refugees. Having fled Georgia as a young boy when Russia invaded that country in 1993, Demna considered canceling the show, but ultimately decided to carry on. “Personally, I have sacrificed too much to war,” he said. “We must resist.” His cinematic presentation, set in a snow globe with models’ long dresses and long hair shuddering in the wind, produced the season’s most stirring visuals, and the catharsis that many of his followers were longing for.
The Palestinian Fashion Collectives was another presentation for Hamza Qassim in 2021: Her latest collection portrays the fall of Palestine in the 1948 Civil War, during which an exodus of over 700,000 Palestinians took place. This flight from their homeland was the beginning of Palestinian displacement, says Khalil. She designed pieces with this exodus in mind, visualizing the trauma of the previous generation of Palestinians. Her work is an ode to the “Palestinian story” that deserves to be told. Characterized by a self-proclaimed “camp” aesthetic, tRASHY Clothing is a satirical clothing brand spotlighting the Middle Eastern community and political activism. Shukri Lawrence and Omar Braika, co-creative directors of the brand, aim to reclaim Palestinian identity through their brand, subverting clothing that is usually considered crude or cheap.
