Names like Elie Saab and Zuhar Murad are firmly on the international fashion map. Be it the Oscars or the Cannes Film Festival, you know that at least one A-list celebrity is going to be wearing these labels. They have really paved the way for designers from this region to be seen as global. In the past months, Janelle Monae made her Oscar debut in a striking Elie Saab and at Cannes Film Festival, panelist Jessica Chastain made sure her final appearance in a white and red beaded Zuhar Murad. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's choice of a Michael Cinco blue Cinderella style ball gown (a designer who Jenifer Lopez and Carrie Underwood have worn before) at Cannes placed her in many a best dressed list. The Indian actor also wore a black ensemble by Beirut-based label Ashi Studio. It seems that that Arab designers have finally arrived. From bags to shoes, you can now dress homegrown from head to toe. And here are the five Arab designers we think you should have you eye on.
DIMA AYED: The Lebanese-origin Dubai-based designer is already known with the city's fashion set. She launched her eponymous fashion label six years ago, while still working in the hospitality industry. Known for her curves, she makes clothes for real women, with real bodies and real lives- and that's why she has become the go-to designer for so many girls. The 37-year-old is the head of public relations and marketing at a luxury fashion ecommerce site, where she has launched her capsule line for summer. It includes drop waist dresses, open kaftans, metallic pajamas styled trouser suits and shirt dresses. (Prices start at around Dh1600, themodist.com)
