Abu Dhabi Stories

Noor Mansoura’s love for fashion started long before she ever considered it a career. As a child, she didn’t just play with dolls, but she redesigned their outfits, cut up socks to create new looks, and experimented with colors alongside her friends. Those playful moments would one day shape her journey into the world of fashion.

Noor is not the only child in Abu Dhabi who shaped her future from a young age. Discover the story of Aya and Alaa, the twin sisters who redefined learning and success.

University: A Foundation for Growth

Although she didn’t study fashion, Noor’s time at Abu Dhabi University helped her develop essential skills that would later support her career.
