Amer Mubarak Is Styling a New Era—and Marwan Pablo Is Just the Start
Sudanese-born, Saudi-raised stylist Amer Mubarak has been a driving force behind the bold aesthetic of Marwan Pablo, especially on his latest project, 'EN7ERAF'. This isn't just another collaboration—it's a deeper, more raw exploration of the energy and culture that fuels their creative bond. We sat down with Amer to talk about his journey, his fearless approach to styling, and how his unique vision has redefined what it means to blend fashion with music. No filters, no limits—just an unfiltered look at the man shaping a new era of style.
Let's rewind a bit. What first pulled you into fashion—and was there a moment when it clicked that this was your path?
It all started when I was living in China. I kind of slid into the industry sideways—through modeling, really. I'd show up to shoots, and people kept asking about my fits—'Where's that from?' or 'How'd you put that together?'. I started giving advice, helping out, nothing formal. Then a friend hit me up to style his new collection, and that was it. That's when it hit me—this is it. This is my lane.
Tell us about how and when you and Marwan Pablo first connected?
We crossed paths on a random project back in 2021—no big setup, just one of those things that happens. The energy was instant. No pressure, no expectations. We clicked as friends first, and that laid the foundation. From there, it just flowed into working together. What's cool is we speak the same language—these days, we usually lock in on the same vision without even saying much.
There's a very clear Amer stamp on Pablo's entire vibe. How did that aesthetic come together—was it something you both built or did it just click?
Marwan's always had a solid grip on who he is and his sense of style. What we did was amplify that. We've been dialing into what we now call the 'Pablo Core Aesthetic.' It wasn't about changing him—it was about sharpening the vision, refining it to its rawest, most honest form.
'EN7RAF' came together in a blink—yet the fits hit hard. How did you step in to shape the look and feel of this fast-paced project?
We did what we always do—dug into his closet and started pulling looks. Within a few hours, the whole thing snapped into place. No overthinking, just raw, real vibes. Honestly, the impromptu stuff? It always hits the hardest. That shoot was one of those magic-hour moments where everything just aligned.
What kind of energy and core feeling were you trying to channel through the styling in EN7ERAF?
The EP itself is raw—it's gritty, loud, and intense in the best way. We wanted the visuals to match that voltage. Rap, for us, has always represented rebellion—it's the voice of a generation that's got nothing to lose. In a way, it's become the new rock. So the looks had to be wild. No polish, just power. And honestly? I think we hit that note dead-on.
What's the project where you felt you took the biggest risk, whether it was with a look, concept, or collaboration?
That would be Pablo's 'Déjà Vu' , no doubt. That one pushed all of us way out of our comfort zones. I remember feeling completely stuck at some point. But Marwan's energy? It's different. He kept the whole team fired up, kept us moving. And somehow, we pulled off something that felt truly different.
As a stylist, what do you think makes a good fit? Tell us about your perspective on styling 101.
My advice? Wear what makes you feel good. Don't chase trends just to fit in—rock what actually speaks to you. If you're confident in it, it shows. That's what makes the difference.
How do you think your cultural background influenced your career?
I'm Sudanese, grew up in Saudi, studied in China, and now I'm based in Egypt—so yeah, it's been a mix. That kind of blend naturally shaped my perspective. My style's all over the map, but in the best way. I'm always exploring, always curious. I love pulling from different cultures and aesthetics and just letting it evolve on its own.
