Port Tanger Visited By Imaan Hammam Composed of two unique silhouettes, Hammam’s frames are an homage to two of the strongest women she knows. ‘Umm’, a cat-eye frame, draws its name from legendary Egyptian singer Umm Kulthum. ‘M’Barka’, a wide 70s-style frame, takes the name of Hammam’s mother. “It comes from the word mabrook”, she says, “which means congratulations. I also have that tattooed. But it’s also my mum’s name. And when I was making this collaboration, the first person that I thought of, who I love and who I think is my icon, is my mother. And back in the 70s and 80s, my mom was a fashionista. So she’s been a big inspiration for me too.” The Umm and M’Barka are now available via porttanger.com and select retailers worldwide.
