If one name is synonymous with Fashion in Saudi Arabia, it’s Marriam Mossalli. The editor responsible for launching the Life &Style section in the leading English daily newspaper in Saudi Arabia, Marriam became a pioneer in presenting international fashion through a Saudi eye, as well as becoming a voice and platform for regional talent. Now, with her luxury consulting company, she is elevating the brand experience within her country by spearheading designer collaborations between international super brands and local designers.

With her title as Editor at large for Marie Claire Arabia and two regional publishing houses, Marriam continues to be the “IT” editor of the burgeoning Saudi Fashion Scene. Her current mission is to bring fashion reporting back to its purist form with her indie fashion “blog” shoesanddrama.com.

Having worked most of her life in marketing in different fields like Yatch clubs, Formula 1, Aviation and Fashion, Maria Guzman eventually got involved in the Social Media world. With a master’s degree in hand, her grandmom’s vintage Chanel bag and her love for Arab culture brought this Spanish go-getter to Shoesanddrama team! She’s obsessed with stats, shoes and she’s the master behind analyzing shoesanddrama’s success. For Maria, It’s all about strategies. And her strategy to success with high heels? She always carries a pair of flats in her handbag!

Favorite designers: Elie Saab, Valentino.
