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 IParis

    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 IIAlexander 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 IIIMarc Jacobs

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

  4. Part IVThe 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 VNawa

    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.
