Najla Almunajem, born in Riyadh, 海角直播, has a bachelor鈥檚 degree in economics and two master鈥檚 degrees in law and investments.

She studied fashion design and collection production at the University of the Arts London, where she found her true calling as she had exhibited a strong passion for all things related to art from an early age. What started as a passion became her profession.

She launched her own label in early 2017 and runs the atelier with her team, who tailor every element of the design process to the client, with dedicated personal fittings forming an integral part of her couture experience.

鈥淢y journey was never free of obstacles,鈥 Almunajem said. 鈥淏ut I was able to overcome them with hard work and the support of my father, Ahmed, which has always given me the drive to be persistent. I can say that he is the hero behind the scenes.鈥

Almunajem works at the Saudi Stock Exchange, as well as running her fashion business. 鈥淚t is hard to work two full-time jobs and to study for two master鈥檚 degrees but I can for sure say that living a life with no purpose or passion is even harder,鈥 she said.听
