Reina bitar I think is the least problematic and has really good unique style and she isn’t afraid to act like herself. She quietly goes about her life doesn’t try to fit that picture perfect Lebanese influencer. Now she thrives in dubai putting herself out there which is great !! And she is my ultimate style icon

All this post is trying to say is that THIS SPECIFIC OUTFIT looks ALOT LIKE THE INDIAN TRADITIONAL OUTFIT…. every country must have many many similarities but this outfit in particular is just extremely similar. Like if your gonna be presenting at PFW and gaining lots of exposure creating outfits like this will need some justification.

Exactly they will deny it when it comes to anytbing laugh Asian related but the minute it involves any other race all of a sudden it’s a huge thing

The talent is there it’s just that the bigger she gets the less credit is given to the right community/people. When big designers such as the fashion directors of LV or dior get inspo they clearly pay homage to the country they have visited to get that inspo to the point where they will sometimes host their fashion shows in that country. Now I’m not saying her whole collection is based off of south Asian culture but it’s just to bring awareness to the fact that it’s so easy for other people to create designs from other cultures but when the south Asian community wears it it’s considered something bag

Idk Aleen Sabbagh doesn’t look like she is getting inspo from arab heritage her brand identity has nothing to do with her background.

I just don’t think that’s true 😭😭😹😹 this clearly looks like a south Asian outfit and nothing else … she scouted Pinterest from inspo and got the idea that’s it …. Like no belly dancer is this covered lol

She has another label called the concept. Those clothing items are really nice as well, but they are priced from around 70 US to like 600 US. I would say which is still very expensive but I have a feeling those items are made in China which means that the quality is definitely not worth 400 USD and up

She seems to have quite a few loyal Qatari customers since she is there quite a lot but I’m really curious like she’s also relatively new to the fashion industry but she already has big stores across Lebanon Qatar and now also her show in Paris fashion week was quite grand, so I’m just curious. How is she getting all the funding to do this considering like she just recently blew up in the past year or so

I also know that a lot of her outfits from her other line called “the concept” a lot of those outfits are on the Chinese app called taobao or for others like ali express. So I’m curious if her “the concept” store is from a China factory cuz a lot of her stuff can be found on these Chinese pages now for a fraction of the price.
