Pâté is an appraisal of Kuwaiti taste, exploring how affluence, the West, censorship, and religion have shaped a nation's style. In concept, Pâté is a homage to "The Better Class" by Alice Colombo, a satirical fahion and lifestyle publication created in 1974. Borrowing the structure of "The Better Class", Fatima Al Qadiri and Lauren Boyle have assembled a pastiche, pairing the most unapologetic texts from western fashion writers with rare images sourced from threads of Kuwaiti architecture, interior design, and radical makeup art. The result captures the aesthetic evolution of an Arabian Gulf state from the 1970s to the present. Available at http://www.fdcincshop.org/products/pate
