If you’re following us on Instagram you’d probably know that we recently have collaborated with Bahraini fashion brand Vestigo as part of our new segment “Designer on the Spot” where we collaborate with designers to style their work and interview them.
Personally, my favorite thing about Vestigo‘s FW2014 collection is that you can easily transfer all of the pieces from day to night, you can dress them up or down and the colors of the collection were perfectly matched together.
Aaaand drum Roll Please,, the time is finally here for us to introduce you to the designer behind it and the marvelous wearable artwork..

The oldest in birth order in her family followed by two sisters and one brother.

I see in fashion.

Vestigo is a reference word for the word ‘vestido’ which is an old Portuguese word, from Latin Vestitus, meaning ( dressed; clothing).
It is used for phases of garment, piece of clothing. reffered collectively to the garments worn by a person. Where as vestigo
I have chosen vestigo as my brand name based on two main things.
Firstly, the definition of the word (dressed and clothing), gives a free selection of collections for ready to wear, and secondly
because my brand is based on a mixture of classic taste , where people all around the world can be introduced to it.
