14 Arabs that are Slaying Paris Fashion Week 2016
Paris Fashion Week brings together prestigious designers, fashionistas and everything in between to present their latest collections and gush at all the new trends. This year was studded with lots of fashion-know-it-all Arabs who absolutely crushed it.
Ellie Saab
The most talked about man in the region’s showbiz, the man who blessed us with Project Runway ME, and the man who turned the Jardin des Tuileries into a Disco party last Saturday: We love him so much we could cry.
Princess Deena Aljuhani Abdulaziz
Get ready to hear a lot more about that Princess if you haven’t already, editor-in-chief of soon to be launched Vogue Arabia, and the creme de la creme fashionista. We of course spotted her at all fashion weeks this season and loved her all along.
Rabih Kayrouz
The man behind Maison Rabih Kayrouz blew everyone away this season again putting together an outstanding live dance performance by some of the finest dancers to present his latest collection that he claims is designed for active and “moving forward” women.
Samar Seraqui de Buttafoco
The founder of ULAP that stands for “Une Libanaise à Paris” was as expected in Paris during Fashion Week and as usual she seemed to be having fun everywhere she went from the Ritz gardens to the Vanity Fair party.
Dorra Zarrouk
The beautiful Tunisian actress was also spotted around Paris. She then headed to Algeria to sit on the jury table at the Malmo film festival. But no we won’t call her Dora The Explorer for all that…
Lana El Sahely
Lana El Sahely was of course polishing her closet in Paris this week launching L’armoire de Lana’s newsletters for you to be able to receive weekly reviews and articles straight from her.
Jessica Kahawaty
The breathtaking beauty and host of our favourite Project Runway ME show was of course in town, attending most shows and just rocking it as always…

Mojeh Izadpanah, founder and editor in chief of Mojeh magazine, was among the beautiful and powerful range of “fashion media women” from the Middle East that we saw at Paris Fashion Week.
Maram Aboul Enein
Egyptian designer of MARAM was exposing and selling her brand at the Fashion Forward Dubai showroom in Paris and her new collection is to die for.
