Born in 1982, Elham Al-Qasimi aimed and reached.
In April 2010, Elham was the first Arab woman to set foot at the northernmost tip of the world, the North Pole. Her determination, courage and elegance are some of her many assets. My husband had the chance to hear her speak at Tedx Dubai 2010 and was very impressed. Those who know my husband, know how difficult it is to impress him. I’ll let you hear her speak for herself, it will tell you everything my words can’t describe. She just makes me and about a million others proud and inspired.

Elham is a messenger to those who struggle to dream. Making a change is tougher than seeing the top of the world, and by far Elham has reached that! Once you reach such heights, you don’t just stop. You go after another height and then the sky is the limit!
Elham is now celebrating being the Brand Ambassador for Adventure HQ – The Ultimate Outdoor Adventure store in the Middle East and I wish her all the success.
Since this is primarily a Fashion Blog about what I do or admire, I wanted to know more about fashion in Elham’s life. After listening to her speech, it was no surprise that her icon is Grace Kelly. After all, she goes for understated elegance and comfort. With Aung San suu Kyi being her role model, you start understanding better where her serenity emerges from.
