The Paris Issue - Mar 2024

 

This issue of Brownbook explore Paris—a city deeply connected to the Middle East and North Africa. We talk with Buly 1803 founder Ramdane Touhami, fashion with couturier Rabih Kayrouz and art with Souraya Noujaim, director of the Islamic Arts Department at the Louvre Museum. We also meet the next generation of architects reimagining the city’s future, including Lina Ghotmeh and Tarik Oualalou, and break bread with Mahmoud Mseddi—the man who makes the best baguette in Paris. Elsewhere, we delve into the Alaïa archives with Carla Sozzani, meet the UAE athletes heading to the Paralympic Games, and wander through the vibrant streets of Belleville.
