Talking to the media, she said “I was born with Iraqi roots, but raised in Vienna and later moved to Dubai when I was 21, which was when I found my passion again for fashion.

When I was little I used to make clothes for my Barbie’s and always had a fascination for clothing design. As I grew older, I started to surround myself with ambitious people and when I was spending a lot of time in Turkey I was driven to create my own designs with the fabrics I got from the market in Istanbul.”
