\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Today, I am going to tell you about the first fashion school \u0645\u062f\u0631\u0633\u0629<\/strong> \u0644\u0644\u0645\u0648\u0636\u0629<\/strong> in Egypt. One of our Arabic page fans asked to share its Facebook page and website. The school has a unique project \u0645\u0634\u0631\u0648\u0639 that was initiated by some Egyptian young women and which I find very interesting. The school\u2019s project is mainly focused on cultural development \u0627\u0644\u062a\u0637\u0648\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u062b\u0642\u0627\u0641\u0649<\/strong>with the purpose of offering media production services \u00a0\u062e\u062f\u0645\u0627\u062a \u0627\u0644\u0627\u0646\u062a\u0627\u062c \u0627\u0644\u0627\u0639\u0644\u0627\u0645\u0649 <\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>, developing skills \u062a\u0646\u0645\u064a\u0629<\/strong> \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0647\u0627\u0631\u0627\u062a<\/strong> and organizing exhibitions \u062a\u0646\u0638\u064a\u0645<\/strong> \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0639\u0627\u0631\u0636<\/strong> \u00a0and festivals \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0647\u0631\u062c\u0627\u0646\u0627\u062a<\/strong> . They also offer a Fashion Diploma to those who are interested.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The mission of the school\u2019s project is to \u201cseek the Egyptian roots\u201d. That is why they have given their website and facebook page that name \u201cGozoor<\/a>\u201d which is an Arabic word meaning \u201croots \u062c\u0630\u0648\u0631<\/strong> \/gozoor\/\u201d. They do believe that knowing the roots of any nation is very important because \u201cthe starting point in any society \u0645\u062c\u062a\u0645\u0639<\/strong> is to know itself\u201d. The project is directed to help Egyptians to better understand their society and to be well-aware of their heritage \u0627\u0644<\/strong>\u062a\u0631\u0627\u062b<\/strong> and culture \u0627\u0644\u062b\u0642\u0627\u0641\u0629<\/strong> through digging deep into the roots of what is pure Egyptian and what is not. Better understanding of any society helps its people to be well-aware of its existence \u0648\u062c\u0648\u062f<\/strong> which in turn helps them to effectively plan and shape its present \u0627\u0644\u062d\u0627\u0636\u0631<\/strong> and future \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0633\u062a\u0642\u0628\u0644<\/strong> . As they put it on their mission; \u201cman should have enough knowledge \u0645\u0639\u0631\u0641\u0629<\/strong> of his homeland\u2019s history \u062a\u0627\u0631\u064a\u062e<\/strong> as well as identity \u0627\u0644\u0647\u0648\u064a\u0629<\/strong> and heritage.\u201d The project can also be of great interest to non-Egyptians who are interested in studying or learning about the Egyptian fashion or those who are seeking a certificate \u0634\u0647\u0627\u062f\u0629<\/strong> on that topic.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The project has four main dimensions \u0623\u0628\u0639\u0627\u062f<\/strong> each of which emphasizes the Egyptian identity and promotes the culture of the Egyptian traditional costume. The developers are interested in researching the standards of true Egyptian fashion. They try to reach the taste \u0627\u0644\u0630\u0648\u0642<\/strong> of the Egyptian public. They evaluate their taste and way of dress \u0637\u0631\u064a\u0642\u0629<\/strong> \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0628\u0633<\/strong> .<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Gozoor website has a very good and friendly and relaxing interface \u0648\u0627\u062c\u0647\u0629<\/strong> with more than forty picture background slide-show that takes your breath. The documentary section on the website shows a video that summarizes the transformations \u0627\u0644\u062a\u062d\u0648\u0644\u0627\u062a<\/strong> of the Egyptian costumes \u0627\u0644\u0623\u0632\u064a\u0627\u0621<\/strong> during the past 100 years up till the present time.<\/p>\n
