For this week’s Scene Selects, Egyptian stylist Habiba Gazia helped us curate a capsule wardrobe for the summer.
Dynamic, bold, and expressive—these are the three words that up-and-coming Egyptian stylist Habiba Gazia uses to describe her approach to styling. Splitting her time between Cairo and Dubai, Gazia has quickly built an impressive professional repertoire. Despite being relatively new to the field, she has already worked with a variety of homegrown and regional labels and has styled many Egyptian stars, including Carmen Soliman, Amira Adeeb, Hanan Motawie, and Nour El Nabawy.
For this week’s ‘Scene Selects,’ we reached out to Habiba Gazia with a unique challenge: “If you were to pack a capsule wardrobe for the summer using only homegrown Egyptian brands, what would you choose?”
Dina Shaker | Oversized Blazer and Sculpted Maxi Flared Skirt
“This oversized cropped white blazer from Dina Shaker is a standout piece for me. As a blazer lover, I'm obsessed with how its edgy design transforms any outfit into something more. Especially with my growing love for shoulder pads, this piece is my secret weapon for adding that high fashion touch.”
Rigash | The Pistachio Fitted Blazer and Skirt
“This olive Pistachio fitted set from Rigash is a versatile piece that effortlessly transitions from high-fashion to casual. Its sleek design works for both statement outfits and everyday wear.”
Farah Seif | The Ami Dress
“I chose the Ami dress from Farah Seif because it gives you a sleek ‘I woke up like this’ moment. With my current obsession with pink, this dress is a must-have. The flattering fit, stylish cut-outs, and curved design make it a standout piece.”
Sight | Light Blue Denim Shorts
“These shorts from Sight are the ultimate joker in my wardrobe. Their relaxed fit makes them perfect for a night out with heels and cool accessories or a laid-back beach day with just a swimsuit. I've been living in them all summer long- they’re that good!”
Laila Wahba | The Skinny Hive Necklace

Najlah Studio | The Sierra Top
“I picked this black top from Najlah because It’s adjustable, making it perfect for layering and showing off your style. This top is an essential piece in my personal wardrobe as it never goes out of style. Basically, it’s the ‘forever’ piece I didn’t know I needed.”
Not Found | The Basic Low Waist Jeans
“Perfect jeans can seem like a myth, but Not Found has totally come to the rescue. These low-waisted jeans are super comfortable and flattering, solving the eternal struggle of finding that perfect fit. With a basic color that goes with everything, they’re my top pick for a more modest yet edgy look.”
Kato | The Mini Daria Clutch
