You Can Now Drink Your Skincare at Egypt's 1980
Kill Barbie and Peach Offender? Damn, double homicide.
Jun 17, 2025
If you've ever gagged on a spoonful of sea moss while trying to convince yourself it 'tastes like the ocean' (as if that's a compliment), you're not alone - you've simply become a loyal subject of the Kingdom of Online Wellness. You likely also own a rattling pouch of capsules named things like Ashwagandha Supreme Ultra Calm Plus™ , purchased in a midnight spiral after a TikTok diagnosed your cortisol as 'feral.' And of course, there's the daily ritual: an oat-milk-half-sweet-iced-latte-with-a-shot-of-intentionality, which does absolutely nothing but cost more than lunch.
Enter: 1980. The Egyptian restaurant that's decided enough is enough. You can now drink your skincare. Not smear it. Not dab it gently while whispering affirmations. Not absorb it via a jade roller charged in moonlight. Just sip it - like a sane, time-saving adult.
The smoothies are packed with collagen and come with names like Kill Barbie and Peach Offender, because apparently, your glow-up needs both amino acids and a sense of irony. So retire the pill packs, cancel the moss subscription, and try something that won't prompt your coworkers to stage an intervention.

Why Music Collabs Across the Arab World Matter More Than Ever
In 2025, Arab music is no longer confined by borders, or genres, or dialects, or even expectations. A new wave of collaboration is sweeping across the region, not as a passing trend, but as a cultural, strategic, and emotional necessity. Artists are no longer just making music, they're building bridges in a region that desperately needs connection. For decades, the Arab world's music scenes functioned in silos. Moroccan rap lived in Casablanca. Khaleeji pop stayed in the Gulf. Levantine indie barely made it beyond Beirut. Even the biggest stars often catered only to local audiences, shaped by fragmented media ecosystems and limited industry infrastructure. But those rules are dissolving, and fast. The shift isn't just about the sound. It's about who the music reaches and what it represents. When Amr Diab and Cheb Khaled dropped 'Albi,' it wasn't just two icons collaborating, it was Egypt and Algeria, two giants with decades of history and distinct sonic legacies, coming together in one track. It was a rare moment of musical diplomacy: pop met rai, nostalgia met evolution, and fans across North Africa and the Levant tuned in to a shared moment. That sense of shared identity feels even more powerful in tracks like 'Kalamantina,' where Saint Levant's smooth, diaspora-inflected flow collided with Marwan Moussa's sharp Egyptian cadence. It wasn't just a song, it was a conversation between worlds. Every listener could find a piece of themselves in the mix. And that's the point. Arab youth today aren't defined by national borders. They're fluid, global, political, polyglot, and their playlists reflect it. Collaboration now is more than creativity. It's a form of resistance. In a region where politics, censorship, and media often divide, music has become one of the few spaces where unity feels possible. When artists collaborate across countries, they unlock access, not just to fanbases, but to stages, festivals, and charts that would otherwise remain closed. Music now travels faster than policy. A producer in Beirut can DM a rapper in Casablanca, send a beat to Riyadh, and drop the song on TikTok the next day. The internet has erased the logistical excuses. What's left is choice, and artists are choosing each other. Most importantly, they're responding to demand. Arab Gen Z isn't passively consuming music; they're driving it. They want stories that reflect their reality: not neatly packaged national identities, but messy, mixed, multilingual ones. The success of these collaborations shows that fans are ahead of the industry. They're not asking for representation, they're curating it. So why do collaborations across the Arab world matter more than ever? Because they reflect the future that Arab youth are already living. Because they offer unity in a time of fracture. Because they bypass the broken and build something new. And because they prove, again and again, that even in a region of difference, the beat still brings us back to each other.

Alia Abaza's SS'25 Collection Explores Minimalism & Texture
Alia Abaza's SS'25 Collection Explores Minimalism & Texture The Egyptian label Alia Abaza returns with a Spring Summer 2025 collection that speaks in textures rather than prints, and in silhouettes rather than spectacle. Egyptian label Alia Abaza returns drops a new Spring/Summer 2025 collection that speaks in textures rather than prints, and in silhouettes rather than spectacle. Rooted in artisanal technique and softened by a muted colour palette, 'the collection speaks to my love for nature and summer. A Mediterranean summer,' Abaza tells Scene Styled. Without relying on overt motifs or maximalist flourishes, this drop is driven by contrast: soft fringe and woven crochet against sharp tailoring; semi-sheer knits juxtaposed with structured bodices; silhouettes that feel fluid yet composed. The Muse Inspired by Alia's trips to Greece and Italy - where she fell in love with the structure and shape of local accessories - the collection is dominated by soft, sandy neutrals: ecru, ivory, buttercream, and eggshell, occasionally shifting into deeper tones. Navy, rust, and charcoal pinstripes peek through in select pieces, but never disrupt the overall softness. The result is a palette that mirrors coastal daylight - sun-bleached, clean, and grounded. The Mood 'I often find myself drawn to textures. They add a sophisticated element to any garment.' There's a noticeable shift away from loud patterning. What dominates instead is surface: raw hems, raffia-style textures, cross-woven panels, and subtle pleating techniques form the visual language of this collection. The collection heroes summer velvets infused with lace, and hand-stitched pearl silk. The Collection in Three Words 'Warm, soft and effortlessly elegant.' Key Pieces & Silhouettes 'The accessories are prominent elements of the collection. We've introduced our signature tote bags in this collection as well,' Alia Abaza tells Scene Styled. The bags fully complement the boxy and flowing silhouettes of the garments. A series of cream-toned two-pieces anchors the collection - from fitted skirts with layered fringe to sculptural crop tops. These are offset by more directional looks: a double-slit lace maxi dress with asymmetrical draping; a fringed shirt-jacket pairing that feels like a reimagined power suit; and a striped linen co-ord punctuated by oversized pockets and minimalist embroidery. Where To Wear It Though relaxed in silhouette, these pieces carry an architectural quality. They're made for hot city days, post-beach evenings, gallery openings, or quiet dinner parties. Easy to layer, effortless to pair, they ask little of their wearer beyond movement and presence. How To Style It ZYNE – Livia Sandals Bil Arabi – Oula in 18k Gold, Diamond & Flat Stone Letter Earrings Bouguessa – Maya Shorts in White/Black Pinstripe Jude Benhalim – Thalia Necklace The Verdict This is Alia Abaza's work at its most distilled: tactile, elemental, and self-assured. A collection grounded in texture, elevated through construction, and designed with quiet conviction.
