  • سليم الشمري (من مواليد البصرة، جنوب العراق) مصمم أزياء عراقي. تقتضي وظيفته اختيار الأقمشة المستخدمة، والنماذج، وتحديد مواضع الإضاءة لعروض المدرج، بالإضافة إلى صنع الملابس. تخرج في جامعة بغداد وحصل على إجازة في علم الأحياء الدقيقة بدرجة بكالوريوس، وعاد فيما بعد لدراسة الفن. أقام العديد من عروض الأزياء في العراق، أبرزها معرض عام 1991 في فندق فلسطين الذي حضره وفد من الأمم المتحدة الذي زار العراق، وأعجب بتصاميمه التي قدموا له اتصالات وعناوين دور الأزياء في الولايات المتحدة وأوروبا. قبل عام 2003، كان سالم ناجحًا للغاية في العراق، لكن الإطاحة بصدام حسين ونظامه أدى إلى خسارة في الإيرادات والعملاء له.

  • سليم الشمري (من مواليد البصرة، جنوب العراق) مصمم أزياء عراقي. تقتضي وظيفته اختيار الأقمشة المستخدمة، والنماذج، وتحديد مواضع الإضاءة لعروض المدرج، بالإضافة إلى صنع الملابس. تخرج في جامعة بغداد وحصل على إجازة في علم الأحياء الدقيقة بدرجة بكالوريوس، وعاد فيما بعد لدراسة الفن. أقام العديد من عروض الأزياء في العراق، أبرزها معرض عام 1991 في فندق فلسطين الذي حضره وفد من الأمم المتحدة الذي زار العراق، وأعجب بتصاميمه التي قدموا له اتصالات وعناوين دور الأزياء في الولايات المتحدة وأوروبا. قبل عام 2003، كان سالم ناجحًا للغاية في العراق، لكن الإطاحة بصدام حسين ونظامه أدى إلى خسارة في الإيرادات والعملاء له. وذكر أيضًا أنه تعرض للاعتداء من قبل مسلحين، حيث داهم 11 مهاجمًا منزله وشتموه وضربوه وسرقوا منه حوالي 50 ألف دولار نقدًا ومجوهرات زوجته. جعلت حرب العراق الحالية الأعمال التجارية صعبة له بشكل متزايد مع فرار العديد من مصممي الأزياء والأشخاص الليبراليين من العراق إلى دول مختلفة. وعن الموضة العراقية، يقول: «كانت الثمانينيات في القرن التاسع عشر هي السنوات الذهبية للموضة» . «كانت العصور الوسطى أفضل من اليوم».

He has also stated to have been assaulted by gunmen, where 11 attackers raided his home, cursed at him for being a designer, beat him and stole about $50,000 in cash and jewelry. The current Iraq war has made business for Salim increasingly difficult with many fashion designers and liberal people fleeing Iraq. On the fashion of Iraq, he states: "The 1980s were the golden years for fashion," he says. "The Middle Ages were better than today." (en)
