Gemstone buttons take cues from Algerian women’s intrinsic glamour, she reveals. “The jewels represent the importance for women to always wear jewellery, especially gold, so finishing my clothes with jewels has become a signature of the brand.” Elsewhere in the capsule, you’ll find a deep cobalt blue coord that draws on Algerian police uniforms. “We call policemen 'stylo bic’, which means ‘the blue pen’. I’ve always been fascinated by their power but also the air of mystery that they create by never talking.” Another key look is a dramatic Bernous cape, broadly inspired by traditional wedding attire but more personally by Yasmin’s grandfather. “He was a figure of masculinity and respect in the home.”

To shoot the campaign, Yasmin recreated an Algerian rooftop scene in Paris. “I reconstructed ‘stah’, which is the rooftop where you take a nap when it's hot. And I chose models who already had a familial connection - Ines and Hamza are siblings and Merlin is their best friend, so the energy coming from the imagery draws on their real friendship and familiarity.”

In the accompanying film, this all-Algerian cast are superimposed on shots from the designer’s home and that of her family, as if transported back to their origins by the power of the garments. “It reflects on how memories of our roots nourish creativity. At the same time, I’m paying homage to the kids of minorities who grew up with the same dreams, references, memories and problems as any other child, but as an adult, don’t feel represented in the artistic world.”
