Midar partners with Adeer to develop Boulevard project in Mostakbal City with EGP 70bn investment
Midar for Investment and Urban Development, the master developer of Mostakbal City and MADA City in East Cairo, has announced the signing of a strategic revenue-sharing agreement with Adeer International, a subsidiary of Saudi-based Sumou Holding. The partnership will see the development of an integrated mixed-use urban project spanning over half a million square metres in Mostakbal City, with total investments exceeding EGP 70bn. Ayman ElKousey, CEO and Managing Director of Midar, highlighted the company's commitment to partnering with leading investors and developers who have proven track records in local and regional markets. He noted that Midar's cities—Mostakbal City and MADA—continue to position themselves as top investment destinations in New Cairo, attracting dozens of major investors over recent years thanks to their unique offering focused on sustainability, luxury, and smart infrastructure management. ElKousey added that the agreement reflects Sumou Holding's confidence in Midar's vision and projects. It comes as part of a broader investment alliance launched earlier this year, which brought together Midar, Sumou Investment, Adeer International, and Hassan Allam Properties to develop luxury hospitality and entertainment projects across premium Nile-front locations and within Midar's cities, with total investments of $2bn as announced in the memorandum of understanding signed at the start of the year. He also noted that unveiling the new project during a meeting between the leadership of Sumou Holding Group and Midar, alongside Egypt's Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly, demonstrates the high level of official attention the project is receiving, as well as the extensive government coordination aimed at ensuring the successful completion of all its phases. ElKousey stressed that the meeting reflected the Egyptian state's commitment to supporting serious investments and overcoming any challenges that might slow progress in key projects. Commenting on the announcement, Bassel El Serafy, CEO of Adeer International, said: 'Our partnership with Midar is built on a shared strategic vision and deep mutual trust in Egypt's real estate and investment potential. Boulevard is not just a flagship development; it represents a long-term ambition to redefine modern living in Egypt through fully integrated, sustainable, and smart urban planning.' El Serafy also announced the establishment of a new joint venture between Adeer International and Paragon Developments to lead the Boulevard project. This step forms part of Sumou Holding's wider strategy—executed through Sumou International Investment—to foster impactful Egyptian-Saudi partnerships, transfer expertise, and deliver flexible, future-ready urban models aligned with the sustainable development goals of both countries.

What a Model Actually Wears to Set With Saudi Model Zahra Hussain
What a Model Actually Wears to Set With Saudi Model Zahra Hussain There's a certain image that comes to mind when you hear the word model - all glossy skin, dewy cheekbones, and aspirational chaos in the back of a cab. But Zahra Hussain, with her quick wit and even quicker shoe change, is here to gently unpick that illusion. The UK-based Saudi model never planned to become the face that launched campaigns. In fact, her path to fashion began not with dreams of runways but with a pragmatic twist of fate. As a university student studying Finance in the British countryside, her world revolved around textbooks and netball courts - until her height started turning heads. 'Everyone told me, you should model,' she says. 'So I walked into an agency on a whim, and they signed me straight away.' Just like that, the athlete became an accidental icon, trading sports gear for couture. If fashion demands conformity, Zahra sidesteps it with ease. 'My style is never one aesthetic,' she tells SceneStyled. One moment she's in ethereal pastels; the next, she's leaning into midnight-hued rebellion. Modelling - with its casting-call uniform of black-on-black - only deepened her creative fearlessness. 'Before, I'd thought, 'You can't wear that with that'. Now? Who actually cares?' Raised Muslim in rural England, deeply rooted in her Saudi heritage, Zahra carries her identity with both gentleness and clarity. 'There's a generational shift happening. My mum might not love some of the outfits I wear now, but Arab fashion isn't monolithic.' For her, style is a space for nuance. 'Respect your roots, but make room for yourself. There's beauty in balance.' Though she's graced international campaigns and editorials, Zahra's love for modelling is all about collaboration. 'Photographers, artists, other models - I love the energy of it. But I also wonder: why do we still centre European labels in our region's fashion story? There's magic in what we have - Saudi boutiques, in Egyptian craftsmanship, that we overlook.' And while her portfolio is full of high-shine fashion moments, she's also just really, really good at surviving a 6am call time without losing an earring - mostly by not wearing any. 'People don't realise - jewellery's a no-go. You'll always be asked to take it off, and you're bound to lose something eventually. It's just not worth it.' So instead of a glossy dreamboard of looks that rarely leave the stylist's rack, For this SceneStyled SELECTS Zahra shares the real model on-set edit. 'It's all about ease,' as she says. 'Chill, but it works.' Best on set outfit 'The best on-set outfit is all about ease - jeans you can pull on and off quickly, a stretchy tank so makeup doesn't get ruined, and slides for easy shoe changes. It's chill, low-maintenance, and you don't care if it gets a bit dirty.' A practical yet polished on-set uniform: mid-blue flared jeans with patch pockets for a touch of structure, a ribbed cotton tank that's soft, breathable, and makeup-friendly, and comfy LV slides that slip on and off in seconds. It's the kind of look that works hard behind the scenes - casual, functional and effortlessly cool. Sakura — Patch Pocket Flared Jeans In Mid Blue Skims — Cotton Rib Long Tank in Marble Louis Vuitton — Sunset Comfort Sandals in Blue/Blanc Casting outfit "For castings, it's always about keeping it simple- clean lines, no distractions. You want to look long, lean, and effortless. That usually means all black, something tailored, and absolutely no jewellery. You'll just be told to take it off- and if you forget, you'll lose it. It's happened.' A pair of high-waisted, flared black trousers, paired with a fitted cotton-blend top that hugs without clinging. The silhouette is sharp, especially when grounded by sleek heeled boots- something structured to subtly enhance her posture and add height without screaming for attention. And if it's cold? A checked Acne Studios scarf adds polish. Priya — Twill Patch-Pocket Flared Trousers In Black Harvey Nichols — Massachusetts Cotton Top in Black Off-White — Silver Allen Heeled Ankle Boots Acne Studios — Check Logo Scarf, Narrow in Black & Gray What's in my bag? 'My bag's always full of things that keep me ready for anything, Day-to-day beauty staples, a few snacks - just the things that make sure you're cute, fresh and prepared.' In her tote - Fendi's oversized FF-embroidered canvas shopper - you'll find the kind of staples that keep her camera-ready without trying too hard. A Mario Badescu rosewater spray for mid-day refresh, Clinique's cult Black Honey lip tint, a protein bar and an apple (always), and her Canon G7x. 'Anything can happen in a day, and I like to be ready—especially for behind-the-scenes moments,' she says. And then there's the one non-negotiable: Chanel's Noir Allure mascara. 'I always have my own. I'm not sharing mascara with anyone. Ever.' Fendi — Roll Large Blue canvas shopper with FF embroidery Louis Vuitton — Sarah Wallet in Blue Wash Mario Badescu — Rose Spray Toner For Refreshing L'Oreal — Paris Fine Flowers Cleansing Wipes Keihl's — Mini Ultra Facial Refillable Moisturising Cream with Squalane Clinique — Black Honey Lip Digital Camera (G7x) For Behind The Scenes If Possible Apple & a Protein Bar Chanel Noir Allure Weekend Dinner Outfit 'I do tend to end up wearing black a lot, but I just like things that feel classy and versatile - you can go to dinner, but if you want to go to a party afterwards, you're ready. I like little accessories that just make you look… expensive and chic.' A structured black Emiliana top by X REVOLVE paired with cropped Cindy trousers—clean lines, zero fuss. She adds height and attitude with YSL's patent Opyum heels, and slings the crocodile-embossed Le 5 à 7 bag over her shoulder. Gold accents - a twisted bangle and Prya's Mia hoops - finish the look with just enough polish. Revolve — Emiliana Top in Black Revolve — Lovers And Friends Cindy Cropped Capri Pant in Black YSL — Le 5 À 7 In Crocodile-Embossed Shiny Leather YSL — Opyum Sandals In Patent Leather Browns Family Jewellers — Soleil Collection Twisted Bangle in 9K Solid Yellow Gold Prya — Mia Earrings In Her Wardrobe That She Cannot Live Without 'They've been my dream since I was a little girl, and I finally got them' Tiffany & Co. — Return to Tiffany Heart Tag Necklace in Silver with a Diamond, Medium Tiffany & Co. — Return to Tiffany Heart Tag Stud Earrings in Silver, Mini

Dubai's Fashion Rerun Is Giving Preloved Clothing a Second Life
Dubai's Fashion Rerun Is Giving Preloved Clothing a Second Life In 2017 Dubai, the concept of walking into a boutique thrift store and shopping for secondhand clothing was not only foreign to locals, it was completely unimaginable. The emirate was preoccupied with its Dubai Bling-esque fantasies, and people sought individuality in luxury. That is the world that Dubai-based vintage and thrift shop Fashion Rerun was born into, tasked with reframing thrifting as a creative counterpoint to luxury. Fashion Rerun was founded by Muhammad Virji, who initially got into the thrifting business in 2003 Toronto after getting his computer networking degree, reselling secondhand finds from sorting facilities at flea markets. At the time, Virji viewed reselling purely as a way to make money as a fresh grad, not yet aware of the environmental and social significance of what he was doing. After managing a sorting and grading facility in Dubai, Virji found himself face to face with a mound of manufactured clothing on the daily, prompting him to think about how that impacted the world we live in. 'We were sorting through 40,000 kilograms of clothing a day,' he tells SceneStyled. 'That's when I realised—I had to do something.' With the help of his wife and her keen eye for design, as well as his experience with secondhand clothing, Virji founded Fashion Rerun and opened the first store in Satwa—but the journey was far from over. To get Fashion Rerun off the ground, Virji had to convince people that secondhand didn't mean second best. 'People weren't really aware of how unsustainable their shopping habits were. The more we educated them about it, and about how buying secondhand clothing means your pieces are one of a kind, the more they opened up to the idea.' To the small population that actually already enjoyed shopping secondhand, Fashion Rerun was a saving grace. It was the first shop in the region to do what it does, which meant thrift-enthusiasts no longer had to do their secondhand shopping in Europe or the US. From that mountain of daily clothing, Fashion Rerun picks pieces by tracking trends—or just following a gut feeling. 'Sometimes, it's just a gut feeling. You see a piece and you just know that someone is going to love it.' Fashion Rerun started with thrift—recently manufactured clothes worn once or twice and tossed away. But then came the art. 'At first, we were only mending clothes out of necessity, but we realised a thousand people could do that. So, we decided to incorporate our own art into the clothing, adding colourful patchwork and fun stitching to pieces that needed saving.' That creative shift birthed a second brand: EFAAR—short for 'Environmentally Friendly and Artistically Reworked'. 'We got to create our own streetwear brand, while also giving clothes at the end of their life a second chance.' EFAAR gained a lot of popularity, and both it and Fashion Rerun quickly became an integral part of Dubai's sartorial culture, joining community events and huge global happenings like Sole DXB. Now with a second store in Goshi Warehouse City, Fashion Rerun has come full circle. Or almost. Except—the learning never stops. The team behind Fashion Rerun continues to educate more people about the impact of shopping secondhand clothing, of what it means to save these garments, and of how shopping secondhand can introduce people to clothes with character and, occasionally, pieces that are entirely one-of-a-kind—like the time Virji found a rare Marvel X Men t-shirt from the 1990s. Throughout its journey, Fashion Rerun has always been intent on interacting with the community, getting live feedback about what people want to see so they can supply it, and creating their own community of secondhand shoppers in the process. Now, though, the questions are getting a little different. 'We're always asked why vintage clothing is so expensive, if it's secondhand. Vintage isn't expensive because it's old; it's expensive because it's rare, unique, and limited by nature. Only 0.5% of our daily sorting is classified as real vintage. Vintage is secondhand, but not all secondhand is vintage.' In a city obsessed with the new, Fashion Rerun reminds us that style can have a past—and still be the future.
