Dubai-based designer Sanah Yasin, known for her contemporary kaftans, sleek blazers, and signature palm tree motifs, has carved a niche blending cultural heritage with modern luxury. Her namesake brand embodies effortless elegance, with pieces that speak to both tradition and innovation. Here, Sanah shares her go-to style staples, beauty must-haves, and where she’s finding creative inspiration right now.
Style Staples & Fashion Influences
Sanah’s black raw silk palm tree blazer is a wardrobe essential, effortlessly transitioning from tailored trousers to denim or even workout pants. She often pairs her designs with pieces from Schiaparelli, Miu Miu, and Loewe, brands she admires for their bold elegance, playful sophistication, and impeccable craftsmanship. For a simple yet chic look, she relies on well-cut trousers, a sleek tank, and a great tee—perfect for any occasion. Accessories like sunglasses from Loewe, YSL, and Chanel add the finishing touch to her looks, while her gold and diamond tennis bracelets are constant companions.
Beauty Routine & Skincare Essentials
When it comes to beauty, Sanah keeps things low-maintenance yet effective. She uses Moonglaze highlighter for a dewy glow and Chanel’s Les Beiges Cream Bronzer for a natural finish. Her lip combo of NARS ‘American Woman’ and M·A·C’s ‘Chestnut’ liner is a go-to, while Aesop’s Sculpt Hair Polish keeps her sleek hair in check. For skincare, she stays consistent with monthly facials (microdermabrasion or Black Diamond facial) and a simple at-home routine featuring SkinCeuticals and Dermalogica products. Face massages are also a key part of her routine, adding a moment of self-care and a healthy glow.
Creative Inspiration from Travel & Life
Sanah’s creativity is largely driven by her travels. Her recent trip to Spain, with its vibrant tiles and intricate patterns, has already begun to influence her upcoming collections. “Travel has always been my biggest source of inspiration—both in style and in life,” she says. Sanah also finds peace and relaxation in her fitness routine, with yoga, boxing, and gym sessions grounding her daily life.
Home & Personal Life
At home, Sanah finds beauty in the simple things, often sourcing pieces for her home from her travels. “I make a point to buy a piece of art on every trip,” she shares. For family dinners, MayaBay at Jumeirah Al Naseem and Shanghai Me in DIFC are among her top picks, while J1 Beach offers a vibrant energy she loves.
Positive Mindset & Future Plans
Sanah believes in the power of positive self-talk. “There’s no product that compares to the confidence that comes from being fully sure of who we are,” she says, emphasizing how this mindset shapes her journey. Reflecting on her label’s success over the past four years, Sanah is excited for what’s next and is ready to showcase new inspirations in her future designs.
