The young designer’s brand was created in 2016. Nina will soon release her third collection entitled “Oriental Promise” in Dubai. Talar Nina said she and her family also travel across Arab countries so that she has a wider picture of the culture and history of the East.

The designer, who is of Armenian descent, donates some of her profits to the children in Gyumri.

Talar Nina was born in Los Angeles into a family of Armenian refugees, received her education in the arts in London and moved to Dubai.
