The story

Twelve years in the making

“I wanted a wardrobe that feels considered rather than trend-driven. Pieces that are timeless, beautifully made, and easy to return to season after season.”

  1. Part I — Paris

    Nawal's journey began over twelve years ago, when she moved to Paris to study fashion and started working in the industry almost immediately.

  2. Part II — Alexander Wang

    One of her first roles supported the showroom and wholesale side of the business. Looking back, that experience shaped the direction she would take.

  3. Part III — Marc Jacobs

    She continued with houses such as Marc Jacobs, later working as an agent for international luxury brands across markets.

  4. Part IV — The craft

    Seeing so many sides of the industry taught her fashion beyond the product: how a collection comes together, how it is produced, merchandised, positioned, and how a brand is built.

  5. Part V — Nawa

    After more than ten years alongside other brands, she took everything she had learned and created something of her own. That became NAWA.

For her, NAWA is a decade of experience turned into something entirely her own.
