Being hooked on fashion and styling, this designer went from a self-taught newbie to a high-fashion one chased by many. In fashion, one has to go all out to bring something new to the table. Case in point, young clienteles patronize internationally distinguished Emirati-designer Lamya Abedin, the creative mind in charge of Queen of Spades style atelier.

There’s always something special in every abaya. However, Lamya’s timeless abayas in style, while still keeping its values and function, are infused with a modern look and twist, stepping out of the norm and highlighting women’s wants and needs in today’s contemporary lifestyle. Lamya also finds her muses through various traditional forms and trends acquired across the globe, mostly from the years she spent living in different parts of it: inspirations from her journeys in Gulf, Middle East, Europe, and North Africa.

When it comes to design inspirations, she is influenced by her daily experiences, travels, and world culture. With her ingenuity and innovative way of thinking, the abaya has never been the same. A favourite among young fashion aficionados; she’s the pioneer designer to compose abayas for sports, maternity wear, and travel.
