She has created, designed and produced her first collection in pure black leather , fine, delicate, very much elegant with this kind of " Italian touch " reminding me of Armani or Valentino at young age. The 25 years old Halima is calling her capsule collection DERACINE' saying that her own questions about her personal, individual, existential doubts were leading her to this name. It is dedicated to her Arab African heritage and Italian heritage in the same time.

With her fashion collection - while designing and thinking about past, present, future, choices, desires, family, doubts, emotional breakdowns and instability - she was finding her own SELF. Her creativity it may be born in doubts and shadows but for sure the same powerful creativity and huge talent are giving her huge wings to rise high beyond her own dreams, desires or expectations.
