Childhood friends Arwa Abdelhadi and Basma Abu-Ghazaleh launched their hip fashion label KAGE in Dubai, UAE in December 2009.

Arwa and Basma always have had a passion for fashion but only recently opted for a career makeover when they quit their marketing jobs to make their hobby their business.

The Kage girls’ philosophy is that « it’s all about the thrown together, effortless style that’s simply irresistible; it’s understated luxury ». They describe the Kage woman as someone that is independent-minded, « always fun to be around and fashion conscious, but who is never taking fashion too seriously ».

Kage offers versatile, easy throw on pieces that can be worn day and night and that complement every fashionista's wardrobe. The mix of colors, shapes, and fabrics that results in KAGE's easy contemporary chic with that certain vintage touch makes their designs so unique. It looks like they have almost perfected the art of blending contemporary classic shapes and materials.

We like their versatile yet glamorous and playful designs and their focus on personality and individual style.

But go and see for yourself.

Enjoy!

Christine Marchuska summarizes her fashion label CMARCHUSKA’s mission to provide some stylish yet affordable eco friendly fashion for girls like herself. Women that want it all: versatile green yet stylish dresses that are reasonably priced.

Christine’s story is truly inspiring - not only because of her green and down to earth approach to fashion but also because of the story behind.

After being laid-off from a well-paid finance job on Wall Street in May 2008 Christine had to decide what’s next for her and how to deal with such shell-shock experience. Facing the tough job market she decided to make her passion for eco fashion her business. Why this change from finance to fashion? She had previously identified a niche for affordable and stylish clothes for eco conscious women like herself.

Thinking about it now Christine says that she loved her finance job but - as with many entrepreneurs - she kind of always felt the desire deep inside her to someday become an entrepreneur.

Few months after being laid-off she and her brother Justin launched the label MARCHUSKA with their first design, the « m tees » – versatile unisex t-shirts from organic cotton. But due to her desire to design dresses Christine established her women’s clothing line CMARCHUSKA in September 2008, which officially launched in November 2008. So within six month she literally turned her life around!

We really like CMARCHUSKA’s casual yet sexy dresses, which Christine names after family members and friends whose personal style inspired her for the respective models.

CMARCHUSKA already made quite some fans and they will for sure make more! It is even said that eco-conscious trendsetter Brad Pitt himself has already been spotted and photographed various times wearing her ultra-soft unisex HUNTER scarf. If that’s no success to have « A celebrities » wear your designs in year one of your history as an emerging fashion brand.

But go and see for yourself.

Enjoy!
