One of the big names to come up in the world of fashion design is Abed Mahfouz. In 2009, he was #78 in Arabian Business’ list of 100 World’s Most Influential Arabs. Though an Electrical Engineering graduate, Mahfouz found his calling to be a fashion designer even as a child as he assisted his dressmaker sister Ghada Mahfouz. “I love to be random but distinctive. I go for new standards in every collection I design. My aim is to keep searching about the beauty of fashion to solve the woman’s secret,” Said Mahfouz.
