Editor’s Letter
Welcome to the Go Your Own Way Issue. This month, Emirates Woman celebrates those breaking the mould, from our incredible cover star and woman of the moment Amina Muaddi whose game-changing heels are now worn the globe over to EX NIHILO, the French-based fragrance brand carving out its own niche, one scent at a time. Our cover, featuring Repossi and shot in Paris by acclaimed photographer Mous Lamrabat is a testament to the enduring legacy of high jewellery as we celebrate superlative cuts in the most modern form.
LA-based designers Jacquie Aiche page 46 and Nick Fouquet page 52 share with us the morning routines that set them up for success and how they’ve grown their brands whilst staying true to following a path of their very own. Venusrox London shares with us the art of harnessing a little extra energy page 102 and we learn how to boost our immune systems – something which seems increasingly relevant page 108.
Her Excellency Dr. Sara Al Madani, renowned designer, multiCEO, and the youngest board member of the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry opens up page 120 about pursuing her passion in the world of ethical tech and beyond. Also, in the tech space, we champion Drest page 56, the gaming app unveiled by former Porter editor Lucy Yeomans, looking at how it’s tackling the fashion industry from a new angle.
Necessity breeds invention, we’re here to celebrate thinking outside the box.
THIS MONTH WE CELEBRATE THOSE BREAKING THE MOULD. NECESSITY BREEDS INVENTION. WE’RE HERE TO CELEBRATE THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX.
