Zohran Mamdani won New York but it was Rama Duwaji’s Palestine-inspired outfit that became the talking point

For her top, Rama turned to Palestinian-Jordanian designer Zeid Hijazi, whose work draws inspiration from Palestinian folklore and rebellion. It wasn’t just a fashion choice, it was a statement of identity and solidarity. The blouse, crafted from laser-etched denim featured tatreez motifs, merged sustainability with structure. With its sleeveless design, boat neckline, and asymmetric hem, the piece perfectly embodied modern minimalism with a touch of rebellion.
