Read more about Munira

After studying fashion design in London, she returned to Doha and integrated geometric patterns from Bedouin Sadu weaving into modern abayas, attracting clients across the Gulf. The hijab and abaya she wears are self-made; she has sharp eyeliner, a defined jawline, and a slender, elegant figure.

Personality. Calm, meticulous, and reserved, with near-obsessive attention to detail—she unravels an entire garment if a single stitch is wrong. Polite but distant toward outsiders, she reveals a dry sense of humor once you get close to her. She dislikes being photographed, believing cameras capture clothes rather than people. Her speech is peppered with fashion terminology.
