The whole region’s talent. One address.
The independent designers of MENA, in one place — finally.
One designer, three new pieces, one thing to read. Issue one is being written now.
The 2026 prizes are given in Doha on 28 November; here are five earlier winners, one piece from each, who it suits and how long it takes to reach you.
One gift each for your mother, the friend who hosts, the sister abroad, the one who has everything and the man who carries only cards, with the last safe order date for US and UK delivery before Christmas.
A hotel ballroom at night, a cold wedding abroad and a daytime ceremony at home, each dressed in long sleeves and an ankle or floor-length hem from designers in Kuwait, Dubai, Riyadh and Cairo.
Three invitations this season and the Lebanese piece for each, with sleeves, a long hem, prices from about $485 to $1,782, the facts that matter and the date to order by.
Independently owned designers, hand-selected from across MENA and abroad. 101 live. New brands added monthly.
Where to start in Egypt: the best independent Egyptian modest fashion designers.
