MANAL AL SHARHAN DESIGN

Manal is an enchanting combination of designer and entrepreneur. Her passion for fashion is intense yet remarkably grounded in her cultural roots. Having made from the finest materials reflection on her work starkly separate her from her contemporaries. She doesn’t subscribe to commonly held notions of overt exposure in fashion.

On the cusp of launching her pert-a-porter couture collection, Manal is clearly dressing the modern socialite. A proponent of classic elegance, she describes her work as a confluence of carefully selected European fabrics and refined cuts coloured with a complementary palette. An admirer of fashion from the 40’s and 50’s, she confesses a penchant for jacquard and baroque fabrics as they lend a classic nostalgia to her contemporary designs.

An avid globetrotter, her travels to Europe have provided a perfect milieu for creative inspiration and have influenced her taste in colors, fabrics and finishing. Her work is a reflection of equal parts of experience, experimentation and inspiration, drawn from her life, mood and travels.
