When we’re in need of some serious style inspiration, this Dubai newcomer’s Instagram account is one of the first places we look…

Who: Hannah Rasekh
Age: 28
Nationality: Palestinian/British
Profession: Founder and owner of The Rail boutique and labellab.co.uk

Although she’s only lived in Dubai for just over a year, Hannah has quickly become one of the region’s biggest fashion influencers, thanks to her enviable sense of style: sleek, clean and pretty darn cool.

Her Instagram page is fast becoming our addictive go-to for outfit inspiration, thanks to her knack for mixing up high-end and high street.

Case in point, a pretty Topshop dress with her latest arm candy, that fringed Chloé Hudson bag and a pair of tan, suede Aquazzuras.

Add this to the fact that she’s an ambassador for Bloomingdales Dubai and the face of their latest campaign, as well as the owner of Amman’s hippest fashion store, The Rail boutique and the founder of online designer store labellab.co.uk. Naturally, we couldn’t wait to delve into her closet.
