Royal Fashion
You don’t have to be born with blue blood to be a royal. Even though all countries are governmentally run, there is still a great amount of countries where monarchy is still preserved. We always think of royal families as extremely reserved, always exemplary and basically, perfect. Yet, not many people know, that many royals are party animals and fashion icons. Parties aside, lets talk royal fashionistas.

We love the pixie-haired Saudi Arabian princess’s Deena's fashion forward edge so much it is extremely difficult to pick just one favorite look. A Fashion Week staple, the princess can typically be seen in the crowds viewing the most up-and-coming trends. She is always in the front rows of all fashion weeks observing, making comments etc. Apart from being a fashion icon and a princess she’s also the first ever editor in chief of Vogue Arabia. She was even called the Anna Wintour of the Middle East by some fashion critics.
She fears that many in the West see Muslim women as a monolithic emblem of oppression, and she is emphatic that nothing is so simple. “Arabs have been responsible for making couture stay in business from the late 60s through today.” Keep rocking the Middle East, Princess, and we love all you do for fashion.
