Azza Fahmy Eye Of Horus Bustier On Display at the Young V&A in London

The Eye of Horus Bustier, designed by Azza Fahmy in collaboration with Balmain for their 2023 Resort Collection, is now on display at the Young Victoria & Albert Museum in London. The piece is being exhibited as part of the ‘Making Egypt’ exhibition which explores the enduring creativity of Ancient Egypt on the modern art, design, and cultural landscape.

Azza Fahmy’s golden Eye of Horus takes its form from the Ancient Egyptian symbol of protection. Shaped like modern armour, and completed with a clasp on the back which reads the Ancient Egyptian hieroglyph for protection, this piece embodies the transhistorical dialogue of the exhibition.

Founded in 1969, Azza Fahmy has carved out a global presence as a brand which translates Egyptian culture into wearable art. Her latest retail expansion in London, alongside her presence among the Young V&A’s display items, demonstrate a growing global presence.
