Mario-Georges, Razeen & MOR.LOV Release ‘Nazel'
In their new single 'Nazel', Mario-Georges, Razeen and producer reimagine the Arab world through layered vocals, nostalgia-heavy lyrics and rich sonic storytelling. Jul 17, 2025 Floating between memory, place and migration, 'Nazel' is a collaborative single that brings together three artists whose lives, sounds and stories span continents. Lebanese-French vocalist Mario-Georges, Sudanese artist Razeen, and Berlin-based producer come together to create a track that feels both intimate and expansive, drawing sonic lines between Beirut, Khartoum, Jaffa and Yaafour. With a voice dipped in soul and poetry, Mario leads the track into emotional terrain, his Arabic lyrics calling out across distances and borders that feel both real and imagined. Razeen's verses add depth and resistance, drawing on diasporic duality with his unmistakable delivery. Meanwhile, lays down a textured production that melds piano, ambient pads, and syncopated percussion, making the song feel like a quiet storm. Lyrically, Nazel is a letter to all the places and people we still carry. The refrain 'رح نرجع جيران' (We will be neighbours again) resonates like a hopeful invocation for a scattered generation.

The Runway Moments That Shaped Arab Fashion's Global Rise
From the shimmering silks of Elie Saab to Zuhair Murad's dazzling beadwork, here are some of the most defining runway moments by Arab designers. In July 2025, Rami Al Ali became the first Syrian designer to officially present a collection at Paris Haute Couture Week. His show, Guardian of Light, featured long pleated dresses in pastel tones, finished with embroidery and embellishments that reflected both personal vision and national narrative. It was a debut shaped by precision, not theatrics — and a first that placed Syria on the official haute couture calendar. Earlier, in 2024, Elie Saab staged 1001 Seasons of Elie Saab in Riyadh, marking his 45th anniversary with over 300 looks styled by Carine Roitfeld. The show included live performances and a moment of fashion déjà vu: Halle Berry in the same Saab gown she wore to the 2002 Oscars. Gulf-based Ashi Studio, meanwhile, joined the official Paris Haute Couture calendar in 2023 — the first label from the region to do so. These runway moments span nearly two decades, each distinct in context and form. From Tony Ward's steel masks to Kaf by Kaf's robot model and Okhtein's alabaster-inspired bustier for Balmain, they register a varied timeline of appearances across global stages. What connects them is not a single aesthetic or movement, but their role in shaping how and where Arab designers are seen. Rami Al Ali | Paris Haute Couture Week, 2025 Syrian designer Rami Al Ali became the first from his country to officially present at Paris Haute Couture Week with his Fall/Winter 2025–2026 collection, Guardian of Light. The show blended delicate pleats, soft pastels, and intricate embroidery, drawing from themes of cultural continuity and cautious optimism. His debut reflected both technical mastery and a personal lens on Syria's evolving identity. Tony Ward | Paris Haute Couture Week, 2025 Tony Ward's Fall/Winter 2025–2026 show was anchored in concept: steel masks, masquerade references, and hours of embroidery that challenged conventional show formats. With pieces requiring up to 700 hours of handwork, the show emphasized the atelier's technical capacity while playing with theatrical form. Kaf by Kaf | Riyadh Fashion Week, 2025 The Saudi label's Spring/Summer 2025 collection included a first-of-its-kind robot model on the runway. Conceptual and experimental, the collection questioned aesthetics and beauty standards in the context of evolving technology—blurring fashion and futurism. Elie Saab | '1001 Seasons of Elie Saab,' Riyadh, 2024 Held in a purpose-built venue in Riyadh, this anniversary show marked 45 years of Elie Saab's design career. Over 300 looks styled by Carine Roitfeld celebrated the designer's enduring impact. The event also revisited a defining pop culture moment: Halle Berry wore a recreation of the gown she debuted at the 2002 Oscars, the first time Saab's work appeared on that stage. Ashi Studio | Paris Haute Couture Week, 2023 With a background in architecture, Ashi Studio became the first Gulf-based label to present at Paris Haute Couture Week. The brand's sculptural approach offered a new aesthetic language within the couture space—rooted in the Gulf, but speaking to broader conversations about form and fashion. Okhtein x Balmain | Paris Fashion Week, 2022 While Okhtein hasn't yet staged a solo runway presentation, its collaboration with Balmain for SS23 marked a notable moment. The Egyptian brand's alabaster-inspired bustier, part of Olivier Rousteing's collection, offered a rare instance of Egyptian craft entering the high-fashion circuit through a global platform. Rami Kadi | Paris Haute Couture Week, 2019 Inspired by post-war Beirut, Kadi's Mosaic of Dreams reinterpreted themes of destruction and regrowth. The use of laser-cut fabrics and iridescent embroidery demonstrated a commitment to innovation, making it one of his most technically ambitious collections. Georges Hobeika | Paris Fashion Week, 2018 A collection inspired by ancient Greece, Hobeika's work featured soft metallics, classical drapery, and mythological references. His steady presence in Paris continued a legacy of Lebanese designers participating in global fashion weeks with an emphasis on storytelling through form. Temraza | London Fashion Week, 2013 Egyptian designer Farida Temraz's showing in London offered early international visibility for Egyptian couture. Her presence—and subsequent win at Paris Fashion Week in 2014—was among the first for Egyptian fashion on these platforms, helping establish pathways for designers from the region. Abed Mahfouz | Rome Haute Couture Week, 2012 This collection, featuring iridescent pastels and classic silhouettes, reinforced Mahfouz's place in the landscape of Lebanese couture. By participating consistently in European shows, he helped anchor Middle Eastern couture within the broader dialogue of international fashion. Rami Kashou | Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, 2008 As a finalist on Project Runway Season 4, Palestinian-American designer Rami Kashou brought his work to New York Fashion Week. His collection, presented during the show's finale, introduced mainstream audiences to Arab design, expanding visibility in American fashion media.

Renowned Chef Mads Refslund Loves the Chaos of Egypt's Food Culture
In this Scene Eats exclusive interview, Refslund takes us through what it takes to create a dining experience that speaks to the people, place and culture of a space. Jul 16, 2025 On Egypt's North Coast, where the Mediterranean softens into a salt breeze and the desert exhales into design, Chef Mads Refslund is doing what he does best: starting from scratch. 'Everywhere I go,' he says, 'I'm trying to tell a story from the time and place I'm at.' That place, for now, is Ramla - Marakez's sandy beachfront escape, built for the art of slow living, is now the refined stretch of shoreline hosting the opening act of WHEN WE EAT's Signature Dinner Series - a month-long culinary project bringing global chefs to Sahel's coast from July 15 to August 15. First to arrive is Refslund, the Danish-born co-founder of Noma - one of the most influential restaurants in the world - and the chef behind Brooklyn's genre-defying ILIS, named Best New Restaurant 2023 by Esquire and Most Important Restaurant Opening 2024 by La Liste. A pioneer of the New Nordic movement, Refslund is known for his fire-and-ice cooking philosophy, his obsession with fermentation, and a forager's respect for the natural world. His three-night residency - running July 16, 17, and 19 - reframes coastal Egyptian ingredients through his singular lens. Think seafood, fruit, salt, flame. But don't expect a menu printed in advance. 'Everyone wants a menu up front,' he says, 'but I want to create it when I get here - when I can smell and taste everything.' That meant a 4 a.m. trip to Alexandria's oldest fish market, where chaos and tradition mingle in a salt-stung air. 'It felt like walking into something that's been happening for 60 years. Very hectic. But I loved it.' From those stalls to the seaside table, Refslund builds his menu in real time: hyper-local ingredients transformed through fire and intuition. 'It'll be a mix of the way we cook and all the ingredients from here,' he says. 'It has to feel rooted.' And though the flavours may be unexpected, his hope is human. 'Hopefully a lot of these people will become friends,' he says. 'Sharing a good meal is something that talks to the heart.' Refslund is just the beginning. He'll be followed by Kelvin Cheung of Jun's in Dubai (ranked No. 7 on MENA's 50 Best Restaurants 2025), known for his vibrant takes on diasporic Indian-Chinese flavours, and Brando Moros of Michelin-starred 11 Woodfire (No. 28 on the list), whose food draws power from char, smoke, and the purity of a single flame-kissed ingredient. The season's final supper takes place on August 15th, when Alex Atala - chef of D.O.M. in São Paulo (2 Michelin stars) - prepares a one-night-only multi-sensory dinner beside Ramla's tidal pools.
