«I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THE CREATIVE TYPE, BUT NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD END UP BEING IN FASHION»
I think it’s just a coincidence that ended up being my path, like a beautiful encounter, I wouldn’t say there is a designer that resemble my style per se. There is a school of thought that I call the technicians that I admire, like Madeleine Vionnet and Madame Grès. I see my work as a means to self-expression. There is a lot of honesty in creativity, it really comes out from the bottom of my soul – it’s the reason why I am not interested in the notion of trend. I am very inspired by the idea of transformation, evolution and progress. The garments that I create are free from ornamentation. The form always follows the function. I can describe my style as very sensual and my work has a very structural and tactile quality. The brand is known for highlighting the silhouette of the woman with bold architectural lines. I love manipulating fabrics and mixing it with different ones and creating new textures.

COOKING AND BAKING
I love cooking, although I don’t have much time for it. My specialty is a mustard filet with potatoes that are baked with thyme. I also like to make easy healthy dishes like quinoa and lentil salad.
CHILDHOOD MEMORIES
Cooking is a very important part of our family’s tradition. Our specialties are ‘wara2 3anab’ and ‘la7em b 3ajin’, and my grandmother’s meringues are to die for!
