Founder and Creative Director, NADINE MERABI

From international hockey player to pioneering fashion entrepreneur, Nadine Merabi is the founder and creative director of NADINE MERABI, a leading direct-to-consumer occasionwear brand.

Founded in 2015 with no formal training in design or business, she identified a gap in the market for empowering, confidence-boosting occasionwear and decided that it was time to disrupt the marketplace. What began as a Manchester pop-up has grown into a globally recognised £50 million business, worn in over 100 countries.

Headquartered in Manchester with a flagship store in London’s Mayfair, the brand is celebrated for its timeless glamour, signature embellishment and craftsmanship. Inspired by her Lebanese heritage and British upbringing, MERABI is worn by celebrities including Selena Gomez, Kate Moss and Claudia Winkleman.
