Fashion weeks are still going on around the world. Even though all the major cities are over, the rest of the globe continues to celebrate style in their own unique ways.


Tunis is one place where they have their own twist on Fashion Week. Rather than Fashion Week, they do Handicraft Week. While it's not as major of a production as say, Milan Fashion Week, Tunis designers still get to watch their creations head on down the runway .

There are no real groundbreaking designs but, I still think it's interesting to see how fashion is done in the rest of the world -- especially countries I know very little about, like Tunisia. The captions to all these pictures said that the models were presenting "traditional ensembles," as they walked down the runway. I'm not really so sure about that, are jean material and pon pons part of typical dress in northern Africa?

All designs in the gallery are by Tunisian designer, Samia Hsiry. Some designs really did look like a middle school arts and crafts projects -- again, the pon pons, and too much sparkle. But, overall, it looks like Fashion Week in Tunis was a success.
