Reemami

Taller Marmo

Although the designers Riccardo Audisio and Yago Goicoechea are Italian, this brand was launched and grew in Dubai’s vibrant fashion community. Specializing in a modern-take on suits for both men and women, this clothing line has gained quick international recognition for its unique mix of tradition and innovation.

Nadine Kanso

Although she also works as an artist and photographer, Nadine Kanso’s Bil Arabi jewelry line is what is making headlines around the world. With fans like Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner, each of her pieces is embedded with Arabic letters or symbols of her Arabic culture; making each piece truly unique.

Mochi

Inspired by her travels abroad from her hometown of Dubai, designer Ayah Tabari’s collection showcases clothing named after countries or cultures that have spoken to her through fashion. What in part makes her brand so appealing is the fact that much of her pieces are seasonless and timeless, making every skirt or blouse in-style no matter what.

L’Afshar

Famous for her marble box clutches, regional Instagram celebrity Lilian Afshar has taken both Dubai and the rest of the world by storm. Her brand is now international, and continues to grow, with her most recent collection of whimsical clutches, each named after a character from a Wes Anderson movie.
