Revolutions are about daring.

Revolutions begin when you dare to dream of what you’ve been told is impossible.

#Syrian designer and events planner Reem Masri is behind Oscar-nominated Waad Al-Kateab’s For Sama Oscar dress.

Masri, a refugee based in the southeastern Turkish city of Gaziantep, has known Kateab since 2013. en.vogue.me/awards/waad-al…
“We selected the color of the dress that matches her skin color, and the calligraphy color the same as the plant she left behind in her house in #Aleppo before they were forcibly displaced.”
“I am already proud of you before For Sama. Waad, a friend, a human, and a mother who feels all of her friends’ pain and concerns. I am proud of you as a great director that reached the Oscars. Thank you for trusting me,” said Masri, whose own mother was killed in #Syria.
