“Couture Divas” is a project that champions women’s emancipation and liberation through a unique blend of retro-pop-art-revolutionary. Inspired by diversity of cultures, the artist Azaïdé depicts independent and strong women in diverse settings, highlighting various patterns’ heritage, fusing vintage and modern codes into authentic traditional wear.

Born in Paris from French, Algerian and Spanish origins, Azaïdé was raised in Madagascar where she cultivated her love for art. She later worked in China as a fashion designer before moving to Dubai in 2015. Her love for colours and patterns from all cultures quickly led her onto the path of photography combined with her two passions for fashion and pop culture.
