Thank God for Insta!
I have to do an ode to the Middle Eastern trendsetters making us not only visible, but prominent on the fashion map. From casual #OOTD’s to professional shots, these five digital celebrities are my favorite.
Aliaa Elesseily — Egypt
Aliaa is one cool cat. Not only is she drop-dead gorgeous, she dresses outside the box without taking it to far, or too tacky. She is our Olivia Palermo. Cool, sophisticated and incredibly unique.
Dina Tokio — Egypt

The turbanista takes hijabi fashion to a whole new level. From her makeup to her unique turban twisting, you can find a lot of versatile outfits wearable for every day.
Dalia Nsouli — Lebanon
I am proud and not ashamed to say that I have literally followed Dalia from the start. Her outfits are colorful and full of life, think Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City. Always on point.
Fashion Pirate — Dubai

Based in Dubai, this blogger is daring — a Tumblr girl, you might say. From ripped jeans and heels to edgy sneakers and skirts, @Fashion_Pirate shows us how street style is done right.
@TheSideTalk — Kuwait
Joumana Soufi is reviving minimalism in a modern way. Simple and chic, she doesn’t try too hard, and I love it.
