Since the brand’s launch, FanillaCouture has managed to be a fashion statement label and get the applause of many fashionistas across the Gulf. Starting every collection is a journey rather than a process where the inspiration for a new theme can arise from a thought, an exulted moment or any surrounding simple detail that touches the designer’s heart.

She utilizes various cultural elements in her amazing collections which later translate into trend setter designs.
