Pieced together from Palestinian fabric, Occident Orient patchworks a conflicting system of ethics arising from globalism. Drawing attention to the adaptation of meaning, Josephine Meckseper’s scarves reference both traditional Muslim headdress and trustafarian style, entwining capitalism and its consequences in a personalised item of individual conscience. Swatches and bands of colour emerge as both Minimalist and Constructivist associations; ideological territories mapped out and merged as an opulent fashion accessory.
