Saudi designer Arwa Al Bannawi from Jeddah has only just joined the fashion industry two years ago, but is already making a splash. After having grown up in Switzerland, the designer took to Jeddah to become a fashion and lifestyle blogger. 

After moving to Dubai, she worked in banking but then reignited her passion for fashion. In 2015, she launched a collection of suits and shirts.
