Did you know that Farida, by the mid-70's, began to design costumes for the Troupe?

In the beginning of the Reda Troupe Farida's sister, Nadeeda, designed innovative and fresh designs for the Troupe. After her death, the Reda Troupe commissioned great Egyptian artists to design costumes for the forthcoming programs. By the mid-70's, Farida began designing costumes for later performances. Her sketches include different styles of costumes, some of which have been presented onstage.

A book of many different sketches and designs inspired by authentic traditional dress as well as many new conceptual costume designs by Farida will soon be available for solo and group dancers. Dancers can view the costuming used for the Troupe and others.
