ADISH Showcases "Tears of an Olive Branch" FW22 Collection
Incorporating traditional crafts and techniques.
















Launching its Fall/Winter 2022 collection, Israeli-Palestinian label ADISH has looked at the region’s olive groves and their history for inspiration. A particular reference is the work of Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish, who wrote, “If the Olive Trees knew the hands that planted them, Their Oil would become Tears.”
Naming the collection “Tears of an Olive Branch,” ADISH references the olive trees planted by Palestinian farmers and now part of Israel, as well as more recent history in the region. The collection’s theme is shown through a color palette of natural green and brown colors, as well as traditional Palestinian embroidery of olives, birds and strawberries, all produced by women working in Occupied Palestine.
Additionally, the collection features olive wood beads made in Ramallah, and a continued collaboration with the Lakiya weaving workshop, including sweatpants with tassels, trousers with woven belts and a coat with woven pockets. For the first time, ADISH has worked with the Inoue Brothers for FW22, incorporating sustainable Alpaca wool to create a Bedouin-inspired liner and overshirt.
