SHEIN, an online fashion retailer that we all know and love, has expanded its successful Designer Incubator Programme in January 2021 with the launch of SHEIN X, an innovative programme that supports young, diverse creators and designers. Participants are taken through the entire process from the inception phase to sampling, production, and distribution via the SHEIN website, which has a global reach of over 100 million customers.

Over 30 Arab designers have joined the SHEIN X program, with Saudi designer Arwa Al Rashed debuting an exclusive collection, SHEIN X R07, on June 14th.

Arwa is a professional in the arts and design with a Bachelor’s Degree in Graphic Design & Digital Media. She began expressing herself through digital art at the start of lockdown last year, “It was a soul discovery and a journey. Be brave and express yourself, you are what you wear!” she said.
