KARLIE KLOSS MAYE MUSK
EDITOR'S
letter
am thrilled to welcome you to our inaugural issue of the Tryano magazine, where we
celebrate women in the region and pay homage to the Year of Zayed.
Our spring theme, Leading the Way to New Horizons, captures a movement of innovation
and discovery and highlights the launch of our latest section, Women’s Ready-to-
Wear. Tryano is evolving from a category-focused to a full-offer concept department
store, while continuing our obsession with offering you and your family exceptional
experiences through a carefully curated edit of the best international and regional
luxury, fashion, and beauty brands. Our buyers have just returned from Paris fashion
week where they scoured runways and showrooms for the latest trends and unique
pieces that we look forward to sharing with you in our award winning “Garden of
Imagination” store in Yas Mall and now online on Tryano.com.
For our spring-summer 2018 Ready-to-Wear launch, we are collaborating
with celebrated contemporary designer Manish Arora who is known for his
craftsmanship and unique play on colors. His rich and vibrant designs have
been worn by international stars such as Rihanna, Lady Gaga, M.I.A, and Katy
Perry. Manish’s pieces make us dream, as he takes inspiration from places
like the Black Rock desert in the U.S.
In this issue of the Tryano magazine, we shine the spotlight on
women who inspire us with their journey and determination.
Our cover story features the beautiful mother-daughter duo of Rita and
Jessica Kahawaty. It was a pleasure watching them work together, giving
each other support and bringing out the best in one another. As a mother
of two young girls, I also admire how Rita has raised such a graceful and
balanced daughter with a strong sense of purpose. Also in this issue,
we share stories of three Emirati women who are contributing
to Abu Dhabi’s growing art and design scene: archeologist,
art lover, and Louvre Abu Dhabi’s communication coordinator
at Abu Dhabi Tourism and Culture Authority Maryam Al
Dhaheri, artist, designer, and filmmaker Sarah Al Agroobi,
and innovative designer Manaal Al Hammadi. Each of
them is a shining example of a new generation of women
empowered by heritage and passion.
These stories remind us of the challenges we face
juggling the responsibilities of family, relationships, and Editor's
sometimes career and that life isn’t always under the PICKS
glamourous filter of Instagram or Snapchat (although we
all love a good filter).
Let us take this moment to celebrate each other’s successes
and remember that the magic is in the journey. Cult Gaia bag
I look forward to welcoming you in Tryano in Yas Mall and
online at Tryano.com, and I would love to hear directly
from you at sharmila@tryano.com.
Enjoy the magazine.

LEADING THE WAY TO
NEW HORIZONS
This season ushers in new ways of re-interpreting fashion’s staple trends. Florals are still
bohemian, but mixed with graphic color blocking to add a head-turning element to a feminine
maxi dress. Stripes go bold, with designers like Alice & Olivia taking the look from head-to-toe,
and structural jewelry continues to be the choice of adornment. Glitter and glam never fades –
the shimmering sands of the Middle East continue to inspire us. Look further.

Interview Interview
Tryano: Can you tell us more about
yourself and how you became a fashion designer?
Amal Al Mulla: Growing up, I always had this love for
creating. I found fashion as my outlet to mold my ideas
into reality, always having this fascination with what is beyond
the surface. It’s this curiosity that still strikes me today, the
string of thoughts and the process that goes into creating a piece or
a collection from start to finish. I studied Fashion Design as a degree, and it was in school where I
found a sort of freedom in combining my love for arts, design and fashion all together in one, sparking the
idea to start my own label and brand.
T: Where does your inspiration come from?
AM: For me it comes in many forms. Traveling, reading, poetry, music and most importantly, experiences are always
the root of finding inspiration and feeling inspired.
T: What kind of woman do you design for?
AM: Every collection aims at women who celebrate their individuality and all that they are. The clothing should complement
her emotions, never overshadowing them. Our collections are always more about the way she feels and who she is rather than
an age and what she does. Our woman is confident, beautiful, strong, sensitive, perfect and imperfect all together. Our designs are
not meant to fill any gaps, but worn to celebrate how beautiful and great a woman can be by truly and authentically being herself.
T: Can you tell us about your SS18 collections?
AM: For Spring Summer 2018, the collection focuses on the strong woman of today by allowing her to escape the ordinary and delve into
a world that is somewhat complete.The collection was inspired by a series of transitional emotions. It begins with a moment of complete
chaos where the white noise begins to slowly subside, entering a space that feels wondrous, abstract yet familiar. It’s a feeling where
chaos transforms into a personal reality that feels alive and bright with possibility, a reality that feels absolute. With a love for embracing
contrast, the pieces balance lively patterns such as florals, stripes and different textures with a neutral color palette. Colors like pearl

whites, khaki, navy, salmon pinks and a striking mint green whisk our Amal Al Mulla girl into the new season with confidence and
strength.The brand’s core aesthetic of contrast is strongly visible through the construction of the collection. The structured silhouettes
and asymmetrical drapings all encompass the fusion of femininity against functionality.
FASHION DARLING
T: Do you think that regional designers are getting the right support?
AM: I do believe the fashion industry in the Middle East has started to show great changes in the past years with the perception on
fashion and the importance of supporting one another. It’s been truly gratifying to witness the acceptance and rise of regional
designers globally.
T: Are there any similarities between the Bahraini and Abu Dhabi women?
Get to know fashion designer Amal Al Mulla
H
AM: There are a lot of similarities between them when it comes to fashion, women in the region have a great sense of
style. Showing our individuality and portraying who we are as women here through clothing is important. We both
love to experiment with fashion and our styles, and are not afraid to try something different and stand out.

like many millennials, she is proud to showcase and share
her life through social media. Dotted between her glamourous

MANIA!
Find out why Manish Arora is the
designer to know this season.
W
ith the launch of Women’s Ready-
to-Wear this Spring, we sit down
with Manish Arora, the master
of mixing fabulous prints and
materials, to discuss what’s in store for the
season and to get to know more about his latest
collection, endearingly named ‘Ready to Love’.
Tryano: Your designs are a work of art. What
was the inspiration behind your SS18 collection?
Manish Arora: Yes, I do believe design is a form of
art, and I choose my collections to express it. That is
why my clothes are about craftsmanship and details.
My muse for SS18 emerges in a sweeping floor-
length nightgown, rendered in heart lace and paired
with fur-trimmed mules, or in silk pyjamas printed
with dream-catchers teamed with satin eye-masks
for uninterrupted beauty sleep after a star-filled night
of dance and laughter. Hearts permeate the collection
across print, lace and embroidery in an optimistic collection
that is ‘Ready-to-Love’.
T: Tell us more about the brand identity?
MA: My brand identity is my life's mantra, 'life is beautiful'. I
believe in expressing emotions through clothes like love, life, joy
and happiness.
T: Is your collection in Tryano adapted to the local woman?
MA: My collection at Tryano essentially consists of delicate
embroideries and meticulously detailed prints on kaftans, capes,
MANISH
skirts and long summery dresses for the beautiful and confident
Emirati woman.
T: What are your thoughts about the Abu Dhabi fashion
scene? How would you describe the consumer here?
ARORA
MA: I know that Abu Dhabi women love fashion and they are
particular about who and what they wear. They know their fashion
designers and history very well. And I love that!
T: You seem like a very adventurous person. What would you
describe as your best adventure yet?
MA: My best adventure was Burning Man, It changed how I look at

BEHIND THE MASTERCLASS

eet Iman Al Tamimi, a young Emirati from Abu Dhabi whose passion
for bringing out the beauty in every woman led her to become a
makeup artist. We met with Iman to learn more about her journey,
her collaboration with Tryano, and her tips and recommendations for women
who don’t always find the time to wear makeup in the morning.
Tryano: How did you decide to become a makeup artist?
Iman Al Tamimi: I have always loved anything that has to do with beauty and art.
Although I had noticed my talents throughout my adolescence, it was only at the age
of 23 that I decided to grow my talent professionally and went straight to Paris. I did
an intensive course in beauty & makeup and got my Diploma within one month from
Make Up For Ever’s Academy.
T: How do you define beauty?
IT: Beauty has varied throughout time, cultures and the vast perceptions of the
world. I think every woman is beautiful! We should all own our looks, be comfortable
and confident, and make the most of it. We are different shapes, sizes and ethnicities,
and I think every woman needs to embrace her individual beauty.
T: How would you describe the Abu Dhabi woman?
IT: It is with no doubt that Abu Dhabi Women preserve their religion, Emirati culture
and heritage yet love to remain up to date with the latest fashion and beauty trends.
T: What are your picks for a trendy SS18 look?
IT: My favorite beauty picks for this SS18 would be Benefit High Beam Highlighter,
the Benefit Ready, Set, Brow and the NARS Casino Bronzer. This product combo
will result in a bronze, glowy look with voluptuous eyebrows, which is now trending.
T: Can you give us some beauty tips for working women who don’t have time to
put on makeup in the morning? LONGWEAR TO STRONGWEAR
IT: Skincare and makeup routines can take up so much time in the
morning. I think the most important thing is to use something

T: Can you tell us more about your collaboration with Tryano and DARIA STROKOUS IS WEARING NATURAL RADIANT
why you decided to partner with the brand? LONGWEAR FOUNDATION IN MONT BLANC.
IT: I decided to partner with Tryano mainly because it is home to my PHOTOGRAPHED BY FRANÇOIS NARS
favorite beauty and fashion brands in Abu Dhabi. I love Tryano’s concept and
the fact that it focuses on the customer’s experience. Our collaboration will
be targeted to Middle Eastern women focusing on beauty tips and tricks every
season using various brands available in-store. I hope to make it as informative
and useful for all!
Stay tuned for in-store masterclasses by Iman Al Tamimi, along with online
tutorials on how to get the latest beauty looks on Tryano’s Youtube channel.
