MERABI Milestones
-
December 2010MERABI by Nadine - Where the Story Began
One month after buying her first sewing machine, Nadine launched a pop-up rail in Manchester City Centre. With her friends modelling her bespoke dresses (none with zips yet – she hadn’t quite mastered those), this pop-up marked the start of her creative journey and the idea of NADINE MERABI as we know it today.

September 2016The BELLA Jumpsuit: The blueprint for everything that followed.
NADINE MERABI had been running for a year, focusing on red carpet attire, when Nadine set out to create the perfect jumpsuit. She wanted a design that would fit all body types and make women feel incredible. Adding a corset belt to cinch the waist completed the BELLA jumpsuit we know and love today.

September 2022LFW debut: sequins, chaos, unforgettable moments.
MERABI’s first large-scale fashion show was a whirlwind of magic and chaos. Backstage shoes flew, models were in the wrong outfits, yet the team delivered an unforgettable experience.
