Originally from Baghdad, I now live in between London and Dubai with my family as a celebrity stylist. I've been covering Fashion Week shows in London and Paris for a number of years - I love the buzz of the city and being able to see the latest fashion trends straight from the runway. Paris Haute Couture Week is a fashion highlight in my diary: The enchantment of the shows leaves you inspired and captivated by the talented designers and their visions.
