Born in 1994 in the city Of Nazareth, Dana discovered her passion for fashion and art from an early age, as she was a student in the programme in high school, leading her to design the graduation dresses for the graduates. In 2013 she moved to Florence, Italy, where she got her B.A. in Fashion Design at Accademia Italiana Institut. Based on her personal study of the concept Orientalism and its impact on arts in generally and specifically on fashion, she started a deep research around the motives of Southwest Asian (an inclusive and decolonized term referring to the “Middle East”) and North African cultures. After her success in the final project, her research triggered Dana to proceed in further examination for concepts like fusion, revival, eclecticism related to fashion design and their relation to culture, identity within larger contemporary perceptions.
