Travel Influencer Hadia Ghaleb Drops Spring/Summer Fashion Collection

This time last year, Egyptian Dubai-based influencer and entrepreneur Hadia Ghaleb made headlines upon announcing her modest swimwear brand, the Hadia Ghaleb Label. In the span of days, the looming annual bikini versus burkini social media brawl seemingly disintegrated, with the burkini, often referred to as ‘kalb el-bahr’, becoming the trendiest piece of swimwear a girl - veiled or not - could own. After making a splash with her Barbie-esque Sahel-touring bus in 2022, Ghaleb’s newest Spring/Summer ‘23 collection is here to keep us all talking.

The collection exudes playful elegance; each piece makes you feel like the sun-drenched beaches and crystal-clear waters of the world's most exclusive resorts are your runway. Seven fantasy colour patterns, a flirty corset-style mini swim-dress, and a peacock-inspired (tail and all) suit serve to highlight the collection’s unique take on creativity and practical thinking. However, the pièce de résistance is possibly the first-ever swimwear jacket, reminiscent of popular 60s tailleurs with gold buttons and chains that catch the light in the most alluring way. Pair it with the Icing swimwear set for additional coverage or wear it on its own for a more dramatic look.

“I feel like what sets my brand apart is definitely our designs, which not only inspire confidence but are versatile enough to suit different degrees of modesty and different occasions,” Hadia Ghaleb tells SceneStyled. “The days of boring black suits with unflattering cuts are long gone.”

But it's the new line of accessories that sets this collection apart. The mega tote bags and instant hijabs are designed from a swim-friendly material that allows you to effortlessly transition from poolside lounging to beachside cocktails, all while staying true to your personal style.

“A project that began as a personal story of mine has found resonance and acceptance in women from all corners of the world,” Ghaleb adds. “I am excited about this new chapter as we take a more global approach to Hadia Ghaleb Label in its second year.”

The Hadia Ghaleb Label has garnered international attention for its commitment to inclusivity and innovative design, and the Spring-Summer 2023 collection is no exception. With a presence in over 32 countries worldwide and listed in top retailers like Galeries Lafayette Doha, the brand has established itself as a trailblazer in the swimwear industry.
