The Colour Me Speechless Edit with Egyptian Stylist Hannah Shelbaya

Colour, contrast, and curation define Egyptian fashion stylist Hannah Shelbaya’s distinctive approach. Whether she’s curating personalised outfits for clients or transforming seemingly mismatched pieces from her own closet, Shelbaya thrives on the challenge of creating unexpected fashion combinations.
