At Cairo Gossip, we like to get up close and personal with Egypt’s VIPs - because, after all, they’re human just like you. Haute couture designer, Farida Temraz, has been on Egypt’s radar since she started her brand Temraza in 2012.
It’s not just us fawning over her dresses, either; her participation in pretty much every Fashion Week to exist (NYFW, LFW, PFW & LAFW) has turned her into an internationally acclaimed couturier, whose designs have been worn by the likes of Carrie Underwood and Laura Bell Bundy on red carpets worldwide. We sat down with Temraz to find out what makes the fashion designer tick. These are a few of her favourite things:
