About the designer
Tala Barbotin Khalidy is a designer working with Lebanese and Syrian artisans to revitalize local endangered craft techniques and challenge perceptions of the Middle East and handcraft through contemporary clothing designs. Immersed in crafts local to the Levant as a child, Tala came back to them during her years at Parsons School of Design when her grandmother passed, taking a closer look at the richness of textiles from the region and the depth of meaning behind local embroidery motifs and techniques. She then created her namesake brand and sought out to investigate Middle Eastern embroidery techniques. She started working with local artisans in Lebanon and Syria to incorporate these in collections of contemporary clothing, as a way to perpetuate local crafts, increase jobs in the field, and reintroduce the area to a Western audience through the lens of culture.
As she was practicing embroidery herself, she noticed that slowly the craft gave her time to process her own personal trauma. She then endeavored to start teaching others how to use the craft therapeutically, starting a pilot program with the Womankind non-profit in 2017, then developing the technique to serve trauma survivors in different NGOs and healing centers, the workshops have been covered by publications like iD and the Financial Times. In 2019, she became a certified meditation teacher, and she incorporates her learnings in her embroidery classes.
