What is your current career stage and what can help you unlock your next level?
My current career stage is I’m a full time employee at Jimmy Choo Middle East, and would love to re launch with Lina Kobeissi LX2 Studio (as we paused it 3 years ago) we are still working on customized made to order orders behind the scene but we would love to come back strong and relaunch our beloved brand, we would love to meet like minded creatives where we can have a beautiful exchange from learn of each other. I would also love to meet experts in the art sector and would love to deepen my knowledge of collecting.
Why would you want to join 1833/١٨٣٣?
I would like to join to meet creatives from the industry, to broaden my mind and learn from them. And mainly to have an authentic and real exchange. I would also love to find MY community and see how we can work together or how we can help each other. Authencity is so important to me, I’m craving it and I do believe that 1833 is finally bringing that to Dubai. My added value is that I’m extremely knowledgeable in fashion PR, my contacts in press, agencies, suppliers can definitely be beneficial and my strong point is building a brand and story telling from scratch and how to make it relevant to the region so I can also definitely help out anyone within the community with that.
