STUDIO NOTES BY KHALIDA ALI


Collage of fashion photography featuring two men wearing headwear, including a black beanie with yellow text and a navy baseball cap with a white logo. The collage includes a metallic silver cape in a store aisle, close-up shots of beaded jewelry, and a woman in a regal red dress with gold fringes and a matching head wrap. Handwritten notes highlight details such as textures, materials, and design ideas, including "try this in 3M," "matte - not gold-glossy," "beads here," and "longer tail?".

BEHIND THE WORK.

Anonymous Plugs is the durag art and design studio of Khalida Ali, home to the original handmade durags our customers know, now expanding through photography, cultural storytelling and durag-centered artwork.
