For Egyptian creative strategist and art director Hana Nached, fashion was a serendipitous detour rather than a planned destination. While pursuing a degree in economics and management in the picturesque city of Nice, France, Nached’s exposure to its vibrant culture sparked the initial flames that would eventually turn into a fiery passion. Her career took an unexpected turn when an Instagram compliment led to her first-ever campaign with a friend, Alexandria-based Egyptian designer Farah Seif. After returning to Cairo, Nached interned at Maison Pyramide and then joined Okhtein, where she spent five years mastering art direction, e-commerce, and social media. Now freelancing, Nached is on the hunt for all sorts of fashion challenges. Nached's style is characterized by its casual, comfortable, and laid-back vibe, perfectly reflecting her easy going personality. For this week’s Scene Selects, we rang up Nached and asked: “What would you wear on a chill day?”
