A fashion critic analyzes the look of Ramadan in America … and a psychiatrist reveals the Du – ryan
I wrote- Amira Helmy:
The artist Mohamed Ramadan raised a wave of controversy on social media, after his appearance with his recent appearance during one of the artistic events at the Cochlla Festival for Music and Arts in the United States of America.
The look, which combined the design of “Crop Top” embroidered with Pharaonic inscriptions, was met with sharp criticism from a number of fashion specialists, most notably the fashion critic Mohamed El -Sherif, who described the look as a “crime against fashion”, in his statement to Masrawy.
Al -Sharif expressed his strong dissatisfaction with what he described as “moral, artistic and professional tampering”, considering that what happened does not represent the Egyptian taste, the manhood of the Egyptian man or his people.
He added that the design used in the look “women 100 % ”, and that its integration with Pharaonic civilizational symbols is a form of “cultural and civilizational absurdity”, and has nothing to do with innovation or creativity, but rather a distortion of a visual identity that embodies one of the most ancient civilizations in history.
Despite the harsh criticism, Al -Sharif praised the quality of the Pharaonic embroidery used, and considered it the only distinctive element in the look, but he stressed that this does not intercede for the wrong employment in the context of a “unsuccessful visual painting”, as he put it.
Hysterical personality disorder: When it turns attention to a psychological need
In his statement to Masrawy, Dr. Jamal Farwiz, a consultant psychiatrist, indicated that some of the personalities who deliberately arouse controversy with exaggerated clothes or behaviors may be affected by what is known as the Histrionic personality disorder.
This disorder is known, according to the DSM-5 classification issued by the American Psychiatry Association, with an individual’s continuous desire to be the focus of attention, which leads it to dramatic, exciting, or out of the ordinary, such as wearing unconventional costumes or resorting to striking actions with the aim of drawing attention.
These people, as Froz explains, do not do this out of fashion or creativity, but rather as a psychological reaction that reflects a continuous internal need for a sense of appreciation and attention, and is often at the expense of the social or professional image of the individual.
