ADISH, a fashion label that's based out of Tel Aviv, Israel, recently released its Spring/Summer 2018 collection, which was dubbed 'We Made You,' along with a lookbook that showcases how the unique pieces can be styled together.

To create the pieces, ADISH worked alongside 30 hand-embroiderers from the Palestine, in addition to Jordan Nassar, an artist who's based out of New York. Due to this combination, the pieces boast [modern streerwear cuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-days-march), which are boldly accented with more [traditional embroidery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brigade), with colorful floral designs and more decorating different parts.

The label has claimed that the collection is meant to showcase "the power of working together in a region normally associated with hostility," with the different [collaborative efforts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tss) that went into its design speaking to this.
