Inspiration in the Urban
Never leave home without a scarf and lipstick’ was the advice from my gran when departing to become a banker. Since then, I’ve always worn a silk square around my neck. It was my talisman, my protector, my bit of colour in a world of grey suits. Financial crises, short-termism, forgetting who the client was… shrivelled my joy of the city. It was time to pursue old passions; textiles design. Through art and photography I wanted to reclaim what had become alien.
I transform the urban silhouette by highlighting its beauty to the wearer, whether portrayed as a Pimlico parking line, a Westminster pavement stone pegged with chewing gum, or a Hackney manhole cover.
Embracing the City
A metropolis can seem like a place endless sea of grey; the pavement, the buildings, the workers in their suits. Many miss the stories in this grey patina. Many miss the passage of time witnessed by the streets.
The Beauty of the Street
As a textile artist, through my magical eyes, the splodges of gum becomes an urban ‘milky way’. A parking line with its patina of paint becomes the most beautiful shawl. The bark of a London Plane tree becomes a visual texture to be celebrated.
Modern Craftsmanship
Graffiti punctuates the city landscape with its wit, colour and commentary. So do the pavement stones, the gum, the parking lines. Most cannot see its beauty.
Using psychogeography, my camera and modern craft tools these images are transformed to reveal its beauty. The craft is separating the greys into 20 or more layers. Each grey is then recoloured, reconfigured, and may be repeated, as the texture is built up. This captures a moment of wonderment.

Sabry Marouf is a creative partnership working in leather goods and fine jewellery.
From Middle Eastern roots to London where the brand has been based since 2016, Ahmed Sabry and Daki Marouf create designs that pay tribute to their heritage. Ancient Egypt combines with modern expression for a new kind of storytelling.
Their journey begins with Amarna, a collection of art-object bags that offer true functionality. Jewellery, a category that inaugurated the brand back in Egypt, will be offered in the future through both a fine jewellery collection and bespoke commissions.
A question Sabry Marouf ask themselves is: “Where will our pieces be in 100 years’ time?” The notion of timeless, cherished objects distinguishes their philosophy.
Like treasures from a royal tomb, Sabry Marouf pieces have a feeling of being discovered. Beguiling and coded, their shape may come from an inverted mask, hieroglyph or the fortuitous scarab, an emblem of renewal and protection.
Combining object d’art appeal with symbolism that charms the brave attitude of their client, the Sabry Marouf woman is the conqueror of her own destiny. She is learned and curious, exploring elements of the enduring classical to express herself with radical elegance. Supporters include actor, model and philanthropist
Elisa Sednaoui, Italian Vogue’s Sara Maino and the British Fashion Council’s Anna Orsini.
Beautifully crafted in sculptural leather, the Amarna bags become talismans in their wearer’s story.
