Anne Mehany: On Fashion, Dreaming, Grief and the Power of Hope

The Curation by Nour Hassan

In this episode we speak to Anne Mehany, co-founder of Maison Mehany a multidisciplinary creative house. We explore Anne's extraordinary journey from a young girl captivated by fashion to a leader in the Egyptian luxury design scene. Driven by passion, her inspiring story unfolds through layers of personal loss, including the death of her father at age 21, and the journey she endured while discovering her path in the challenging world of fashion production.
Anne invites us into her world of aesthetic storytelling, where each project is approached with a fresh vision and dedication to excellence. With upcoming projects that include a skincare line and a personal photography book, along with her love for Pilates, Anne is continually pushing boundaries while remaining rooted in her core values. Maison Mehany has worked with major international clients such as EMAAR and Jean Paul Gautlier, as well as numerous features in notable media such as Numèro, Harper's Bazaar Arabia, Vogue Arabia and more.
