  • Summary

  • The fashion and fame of Safavid silks continued even after the empire declined. In the late 19th century we saw a growing fascination with Safavid silks, starting with the Russian Ballet and Louis Cartier. And from there, sparking a whole fashion trend in Europe.

    ‘Fashioning an Empire’ is by the Museum of Islamic Art, and produced by Kerning Cultures Network. 

    Thank you to our partners, Qatar Museums, and M7. The Fashioning an Empire exhibition runs 23 October, 2023 - 20 April, 2024 at the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha. 

    This series is produced by Al Shaibani and edited by Hebah Fisher, with sound design by Mohamad Khreizat. 

    Thank you to Dr Tara Desjardins, curator at the Museum of Islamic Art, for talking to us for this episode.
