Outside of fashion, Yasmin’s humanitarian side prevails, as she supports various charities and commits efforts and proceeds from YNM to goodwill initiatives.
Between 7:30 and 8am. I am a believer in the power of a good night’s sleep, and it’s an essential if I’m going to start my day off perfectly. I can then enjoy my morning, meditate, have a good breakfast, get ready and make sure I arrive at the office by 10am.
As the creative director of YNM, I am responsible for designing timeless garments - pieces can be worn twenty years from now - and I also work with brands I relate to closely on exciting collaborations and projects.
Revolves around brainstorming, sketching, fabric swatches, quality control, meetings, and emails. Every stage is interesting by itself, and loving your job is key to a productive and healthy environment.
Light and elegant pieces. I am obsessed with everything white – 80 per cent of my closet is white - and my style is very minimal, timeless, and always includes statement jewelry or shoes. I believe that adding a personal touch to a simple outfit can transform an entire look.
I am very into wholesome foods. I have been vegan for a few years now, and I have maintained a gluten, plant-based, and refined-sugar-free diet for more than ten. I’m a fitness enthusiast too, and am fully committed to a holistic lifestyle. I’m actually currently working on my plant-based cookbook too which I am very excited about!
Translating my thoughts into wearable art. Expressing myself through designing gives me nothing but incredible joy.
Nothing! Every stage is interesting in a different way.
I am a skincare junkie and truly enjoy an excellent skincare routine, but I also recommend lots of water and wholesome foods. Having a clear and natural glow empowers you to flare your natural beauty. During the week I prefer not to wear any make-up other than a natural lipstick, as letting your skin breath helps in enhancing your skin cells. I wear natural make-up if I have a morning event — something that suits the day, and is very minimal, light, and fresh!
I workout about three-to-four times a week right after I finish work, and then I head home unless I have dinner plans or an event. I usually prepare a homemade dinner, spend time with friends and family, and read few pages from any book I am currently reading. Having a relaxing evening after a long day at work is as essential as having a productive day at work. Your mental health is a key to a happy life.
My family, best friends, and a good sunscreen.
Workout, meditate, and practice yoga.
A designer, again, and again, and again. Or I might use my political degree to practice a career as a politician, but with a fashionable twist!
