The Power of Manifestation: Introducing Raga Malak

Text by Annabel Blue

Raga Malak is a fashion label founded by two friends, Gadir Rajab and Raquelle Saba. The two manifested the brand identity in Lebanon, then relocated their efforts to Australian soil, where they have naturally gained instant appeal. Despite the continental divide, the brand remains a physical embodiment of their connection to Lebanon.

Rajab and Saba share they always wanted to connect to their motherland and shed a positive light on their Middle Eastern roots, something that is seldom depicted in the West. Raga Malak navigates their hybrid identities and the complexities of common alienation that immigrant children experience.

‘Multi-hyphenate’ and ‘multi-disciplinary’ are labels for individuals who embody numerous roles. Yet, the idea of excelling in various fields contradicts what we’re taught growing up: choose one profession, follow one path, be one thing. In fashion—and the creative world at large—that simply isn’t possible. Writers are artists, musicians are graphic designers, directors are actors. Why is this the case? Partly because our industries are under-resourced and largely under-funded, requiring people to take on multiple roles. But more fundamentally, creative people can indeed do many things. And, more importantly, they want to. This issue of to Be explores this very impulse to adapt and redefine our positions, our inclination to shapeshift into the many roles we play.
