Sudanese-born and former child soldier in the heart of the Sudanese civil war, Mamuor Majeng presented his first Ready-to-wear collection of his brand named 1⁄2 Mamuor ™ at Paris Haute Couture Week in January, 2024.
Called ‘War Zone’, ½ Mamuor is a tribute to the « gangsta » culture and the bad boys and girls who overcome violence, writes Crash France.
Another eye-catching image in the campaign is the watermelon, a fav summer food for millions of people worldwide. However, in this historical moment, AOC believes the watermelon image exists as a visual signal of support for the Palestinian cause.
