Lamya Abedin, Managing Director & Founder, Queen of Spades
An Emarati woman with a Bachelors Degree in Business Administration, life was more colourful than to pursue a 9 to 5 job. So Lamya Abedin's ardent love for fashion, styling, makeup and interior decorating got the better of her. Having lived most of her life out of the UAE in various countries in the Gulf, Middle East, Europe and North Africa, Lamya decided to take a lesson in the diversity of cultures and create something unique and novel in the fashion industry. So Abedin blended the cultures she experienced into her designs, to give her national dress a whole new fashion statement.
Her designs have seen reflections of unique forms of traditional wear like kimonos, saris, even pantaloons.
While searching for a special abaya for herself in Dubai, she wasn't able to find that "One-of-a-Kind" piece and that led her to create her own line of abayas – all individual pieces of creativity and exclusivity.
When many started to admire her unique ensembles she was encouraged to let her creativity take another step and build her brand – Queen of Spades.
