Nadine Merabi

MERABI, the label founded by self-taught British-Lebanese designer Nadine Merabi, makes occasionwear centred on embellished jumpsuits, sequin, feather and lace-trimmed dresses, tailored sets and a bridal line, with a newer denim range. Merabi designs fabric-first and the team samples in-house. The business is headquartered in Manchester, runs a London flagship on South Molton Street, and sells direct-to-consumer online with distribution across the US and Europe. It grew through celebrity and social-media placement, and increasingly trades under the shortened MERABI name.
