In the interview with Amani El Chrief, one of the well-known fashion designers in Egypt, she explains to me her difficulties and achievement after deciding to choose a career in fashion. After she had developed her own gallery in New Jersey, USA, she came to Egypt to develop the same concept in her hometown Cairo. There were two very important things I concluded from this interview, and they are, first the idea or definition of fashion designer in Egypt is different from that in the western fashion industry. Second that while Egypt produces the finest cotton in the world, but designers like Amani buy such fabrics and materials from out side Egypt because none of it is sold inside, she would have to travel to cities like Milan, Italy to get the best quality of fabrics for her collections.
