Haya Maraka is a stylist with a twist. She doesn’t follow trends nor does she whisk her clients straight off to the shops. Instead, she is simply guided by life and its inspirations. From her home country of Saudi Arabia to London, Switzerland, New York and beyond, this smart entrepreneur creates her own rules - and trust us, you’ll want to write them down.
