Egypt's Shosha Kamal Prints Battles on Scarves in Ramses Collection
Aug 10, 2025
What does the world's first recorded peace treaty have to do with Egyptian designer Shosha Kamal's latest scarf collection?
Her new silk accessories pay homage to the Battle of Qadesh under Ramses the Great, a conflict immortalised in history books around the world. True to Kamal's mission, the collection's patterns stand at the intersection of Egyptian heritage and contemporary fashion. Fought in 1275 BCE, the Battle of Qadesh was one of the largest chariot battles in history - and now, its story can be worn around your neck in one of two designs. In the Qadesh Silk Scarf, Ramses the Great charges forward in a horse-drawn chariot, baby-blue bow in hand, framed by layered motifs. The palette - gold threaded with light green - carries into the Naerin Silk Scarf, which honours the soldiers who fought alongside him.
Storytelling through design is Kamal's signature, and it has defined her award-winning art, fashion, and culture house. In 2018, President Abdel Fattah El Sisi presented her Scarab Beetle Chair to Melania Trump - a gold stool symbolising transformation and rebirth, and one of the most distinctive gifts ever given to the White House.
