Growing up, I was always influenced by fashion. I loved fashion and used it as an outlet of self-expression. Back home in Bahrain, there are no opportunities to learn more about fashion or to do anything in relation to fashion. I have traveled to London in the past and was always so fascinated by the city and I always knew I wanted to study here. Once I realised that there are many opportunities here because London is one of the fashion capitals of the world, I knew instantly I wanted to apply to fashion school and to pursue my dream.
