Having grown up in Riyadh, Nosheen feels a compelling connection to her birthplace and wanted to design a collection that would encompass the advancement of gender equality.

This collection was designed to enhance and complement the women who embody and embrace this transformation.

The majority of articles in this collection are perfect for daily-wear, transitioning seamlessly from day to night. Each item is versatile in its ability to be worn individually or stacked effortlessly together, fitting for an office or a party environment.

The collection features pieces inspired by the natural flora of the Gulf region – cacti; triangular windows and ornaments commonly seen in heritage Najdi and Arabian homes; traditional Khaleeji jewelry which utilize geometric shapes; and an abstracted Saudi emblem, specifically, to highlight the progression of Saudi women in the region. Rooted in rich history, but modern in its delicacy and softness, Kenza pays homage to the women of the past, who paved the way for the future.
