Mouna Ben Brahem’s creations have once again illuminated the podium of
this year’s Tunis fashion week. Talented fashion designer, her eclectic and
colourful universe is impressive. Focus on this rising star in fashion.

T

his passion for fashion, Mouna Ben Brahem developed it very soon, sketching in class. Since then, her destiny
was written. The young woman enters Esmod International Fashion and wins the end of school year competition.

After an internship with the famous Chantal Thomass, Mouna Ben Brahem returns to Tunisia and progresses at Africa
Europe Confection, then collaborates in 2004 with Sasio on the creation of a ready-to-wear line for women. The next
year, the English brand Lee Cooper call upon her services for its line for women.
Building of these experiences and with the help of her friend Nadia Hassine Boukhichina, the fashion designer launches
her own Haute Couture office named Atmosphere. On 3 Imam Sahnoun Street, Belvédère, Mouna Ben Brahem gives
life to her creations. Her inspirations ? An emotion, a desire, a painting, a city, a picture... “To create is to be free“, she
says. This talented fashion designer steps out of the box, just like her creations. With a slight preference for brocade, she
enjoys finding, combining and giving a second life to materials, while letting her imagination run free. The result : a sublime

collection that will soon travel to several capitals fond of Haute Couture.  I
