Founder\u00a0<\/span>Dr.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0Founder\u00a0Reem Tariq El Mutwalli<\/a><\/span>\u00a0, published author, with over 30 years of experience in art and cultural heritage has invested in a collection of historic dress over the course of the past decades (over 700 articles of dress).\u00a0The core of this growing collection is based on UAE traditional dress (over 300 articles of dress), in addition to key examples from Yemen, Bahrain, Syria, Kuwait, Tunis, Morocco, Qatar, Oman, Saudi Arabi, Iraq, Egypt, Libya , Palestine, Sudan, & Lebanon.\u00a0It includes examples acquired from the simplest rural families to the ruling families of the region.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dress Collection Digital Archive:\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b>\u00a0The Zay Museum Collection, starting October 2019, will be accessible online directly, as one by one each article is added establishing a unique regional Digital Archive free of charge for everyone to explore.\u00a0Easy to navigate, you can search the archive by decade, by country, by garment and more.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWhen possible, a brief is recorded referencing the original owner of each article of dress, thus documenting their names and stories giving those women and men a voice that transcends time.<\/span><\/div>\n

Benefits:\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b>\u00a0The Digital Archive, a work in progress, is a valuable source focused on Arab and Islamic culture that doesn’t exist elsewhere.\u00a0The documented detail and scale of the collection itself is painstakingly impressive, but more so it is an invaluable source for research, reference or academic requirements;\u00a0an excellent and unique asset to fashion designers, historical or design studies and cultural relations.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Blog<\/span><\/i><\/b>\u00a0:\u00a0<\/span><\/i>\u00a0This digital archive is further supported by a monthly blog that delves more in depth into details of these dress articles, shedding light on their history, references and influences.\u00a0Providing a much-needed global public platform to bridge cultures and interact directly through dialogue and commentary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
