Robinsons

Ramadan editorial, Autumn/Winter 2018

Ramadan is a time of spiritual reflection in the Middle East. Robinsons Department Store sought a stylish visual that combined its botanical motifs with its fashion offer. Collaborating with Haw-lin Services and Ernesto Artillo, I crafted a design and message that blended reflection with shopping: a distinctive alternative to traditional Ramadan aesthetics.
