Women in the Arab World take the Lead in Haute Couture

It seems that now more than ever, Arab women are at the forefront of high fashion. From designers, to buyers, Arab women from across the Middle East have an in-depth relationship with high fashion that is only getting stronger. 

As recently reported in The Telegraph, Arab women, especially those from the Gulf, are the driving force behind the high fashion market. And these women are not willing to settle for anything, they are looking for unique and vibrant pieces that will make them stand out from the crowd whilst being respectful of their traditions.

What is even more exciting is that Arab women are becoming some of the best known designers in the world. For example, Hanna Touma’s ornate and vibrant wedding gowns have placed her at the forefront of the design world.  Reem Acra has similarly made an impact, the Lebanese designer has taken America by storm and now has stores across the world.

At SCEME, we believe that fashion can undoubtedly empower women and we want to hear your stories, so if you have a favourite Middle Eastern designer, tell us about her and what you like the most about her designs! You can Tweet us on @SCEME_MENA
