My advice to you Believe in yourself, your strengths and qualities. It will never be easy but you will learn and grow. Nothing is impossible when you work very hard to reach your goal.

SAMAR NASRALDIN
I am Samar Nasraldin, creative director of Atulier, a contemporary women’s wear brand.
You can find my designs at Rubaiyat department stores starting September, or email info@otkutyr.com.
What I love about designing is the process of an abstract idea turning into a physical object.
My fashion icons are Yohji Yamamoto and Alaia. I like how they contradict each other in a way.
Essential pieces in every closet are black skinny jeans and a good plain white t-shirt.
My fashion pet peeve Exaggeration.
My advice to you Be original and commit to that.
