The best ideas come as jokes. Make your thinking as funny as possible.
Lumen is an online space where art, fashion, and deep personal meanings meet. There are no formats here — there are only sensations.
There are no standards — there is only the light (Latin: lumen) that comes from each participant.
GOAL
To create a living ecosystem where fashion and art become a language of meaning.
To bring together creators and viewers in a space that inspires, touches and leaves a lasting aftertaste.
To convey that visual and textual are a single artistic statement.
CONCEPT
Lumen is a place that brings together art, fashion and author’s statements.
The project is created for those who express themselves through visuals, style and text. Here fashion is a form of thought and art is a way to talk about personal.
the main page of the platform
A section that explains the philosophy of Lumen.
It explains why the platform exists, how it works, and what makes it unique.
The key idea is that fashion is like a thought, art is like a language, and a person is like an author.
A space for authors and researchers.
Each "voice" is a personal perspective, a view of culture, style, art, and society.

Color is an intrinsic part of human experience, shaping how we interpret the world and ourselves within it. In fashion, color becomes a subtle yet powerful tool of communication, influencing both self-perception and the way we are perceived by others.
We often talk about fashion as a trend, a fleeting phenomenon. But what if we looked at it as a form of language—a way to express ourselves without speaking?
Your style isn’t just about what’s in your closet. It’s about what you choose to say to the world, silently. In fact, having fewer pieces can mean more clarity, more consistency, and more powerin your visual voice.
The body has become a fashion product—something to style, sell, and sculpt. But who decides what’s desirable? And who profits from this desire?
The question is not whether fashion can be political—it already is. The real question is how deeply we are willing to read into its symbols and silences.
During the French Revolution, the “sans-culottes” rejected aristocratic breeches and adopted trousers as a political statement. Similarly, in 20th-century America, the Black Panthers’ leather jackets and berets weren’t just style choices; they were uniforms of Black pride, resistance, and radical presence.
Fashion can be functional, playful, trendy. But sometimes, it becomes a statement. Not about beauty, not about how “it fits,” but about how it feels.
“Clothing as a reflection of eras — why the past keeps shaping our style”
Each generation strives for uniqueness, yet when we look into our wardrobes, we often find ourselves wearing silhouettes once owned by our parents, grandparents, or movie icons from past decades. This isn’t a coincidence.
Streetwear—once considered a Western import born from New York’s skate parks and Tokyo’s neon corners—has found a new language in North Africa.
Fashion used to be vertical. Designers designed. Magazines approved. Consumers consumed. But that model cracked the moment the internet gave everyone a voice—and a camera.
After these designers, you’ll start seeing fashion as a medium for self-expression, conflict, emotions.
But in Algeria, it doesn’t simply arrive; it mutates. It absorbs, adapts, and resists.
