Dunia Anabtawi on Haute Couture, Hosting, and the Art of Saying No

from Who said what? With Heba and Nira · host Heba & Nira Shunbo

In this episode of Who Said What?!, we sit down with Palestinian-Canadian fashion designer Dunia Anabtawi, founder of her eponymous haute couture brand, to talk all things fashion, food, femininity, and fierce independence. From designing her first dress at 20 to navigating Egypt’s chaotic production scene, Dunia shares her journey, the soul of her brand, and why energy—whether from a dress or a client—matters deeply. She opens up about how her love of cooking shaped her creativity, what it means to be a strong woman who still wants to be pampered, and the balancing act between business and marriage. Oh, and we definitely got into heels vs sneakers, marriage vs singlehood, the dating pool post-40, and the sacred art of saying no to difficult clients.
