Originally from Saudi Arabia, Arwa Al Banawi is the designer behind the women’s contemporary ready-to-wear brand tailored for “the suitable woman.”
After studying at the London College of Fashion in Dubai, Arwa launched her namesake brand in 2015, debuting her collection of strong, patterned suits. The collection focused on the strength and independence of women, whose wardrobe staples now include suits, blazers and sweatshirts with empowering slogans.
Arwa also launched a capsule collection – “P.E.” – in collaboration with Adidas, which came about after both brands realized they were aiming to tell the same story: empowering your true self.
