Kazna Asker - Tank - Sept 25
For London Fashion Week, Kazna took a new approach to presenting by collaborating with TANK Magazine to host a two-day souk — a celebration of local businesses, charities, and community collectives. The event featured panel talks, film screenings, and workshops, creating a space rooted in culture, creativity, and solidarity.
The pop-up was a huge success, with participating businesses donating a percentage of their sales to charity — raising a total of £3,474.24. Of this, £1,524.24 was donated to Medical Aid for Palestine (MAP), and £2,300 was distributed among Al Jawad Camp School in Gaza, Ghassan Abu Sitta Children’s Fund, and the Yemen Noor Foundation for Education and Relief.
A huge thank you to all the incredible businesses and collectives who made this possible — from Sudanese soap and Palestinian embroidery to upcycled bags, football jerseys, Yemeni silver, Egyptian motifs, and Persian rugs — each telling a story of heritage and resilience.
