As Libya tries to overcome years of isolation and re-enter the energy market, one woman is attempting to export an entirely different commodity - Libyan fashion designs.

Rabia Ben Barka, Libya's first and top fashion designer, spent years studying fashion in European capitals but the traditions and style of her North African home country have always been salient in her designs.

Al Jazeera's Amr El Kahky reports from Tripoli where Ben Barka is trying to put her designs - and country - on the international fashion map.
