SPOTLIGHT: London-Based Egyptian Fashion Designer Nadine Mosallam

Under the Spotlight: The sustainable, soft, and minimalist silhouettes of UK-based Kuwaiti-Egyptian fashion designer Nadine Mosallam’s eponymous label, Nadine Mos. 

The Setting: London, England. 

The Frame: Sleek and minimalist 90s-inspired form-fitting silhouettes define Mosallam’s design aesthetic, with neutral hues and daring cuts characterizing her pieces.

The Designer’s Work In Three Words: Daring, diverse, and sensual…

About the Designer: Born in Kuwait with Egyptian roots, Mosallam had quite the multicultural upbringing, with stops in Dubai, Toronto, and now London. Mosallam founded her eponymous label Nadine Mos in London in 2021, after a simple white dress she made herself for the summer caught the attention of friends. A multidisciplinary artist, Mosallam is a sculptor alongside being a fashion designer. A Fashion Trust Arabia 2024 finalist for the Ready-to-Wear category, Mosallam is a talent that continues to rise. 

The Muse: “Beauty to me is in the natural, the organic,” Mosallam tells SceneStyled. “In London I’m surrounded by such insane standards of beauty, and it feels suffocating. Whoever buys into my world has to buy into me, and I’m all about natural beauty.”

The Designs Through Nadine Mosallam’s Lens: “It’s sensual…it’s about loving yourself as a woman.”

Scene Styled Picks:  While Mosallam’s designs all carry within them a certain sensual allure one cannot help but admire, we’re particularly fond of the ‘Mermaid Overlock Dress.’

In the Words of Nadine Mosallam…

“When I started my brand, it was purely by coincidence. All I had was some fabric; I made one dress, and today I have a brand, a company. You don’t need to have too much; you just need to know you have it all. Abundance doesn't always require an abundance of resources; it stems from knowing you possess everything you need.”
