Rebel Cairo Colour-Blocks the Coastline In 'Agiba' Summer Collection
Rebel Cairo's collection offers new silhouettes, hand-finished details, and that signature 'life in full color' spirit. Rebel Cairo's new 'Agiba' Summer 2025 collection is already on feeds, in stories, and, most likely, in your friend's Sahel suitcase. After the launch of both drops at July's close, Rebel unveiled new silhouettes, impeccably soft tailoring, and artisanal details made for authentic summer moments. Shot on the rocky shores of Marsa Matrouh, including Agiba Beach, this season's campaign is an ode to the Mediterranean - not the yacht-club fantasy version, but the sun-baked summer many of us know well. 'The mood was all about portraying the beauty of a slow, simple, Mediterranean summer,' says Dara Hassanein, cofounder and creative director of Rebel Cairo. 'The shooting conditions were harsh, but we had a few lucky moments with locals that helped us capture some beautiful moments across the day.' Like most Rebel Cairo collections, this one started with a moodboard. 'Our inspiration started from observing and picking up on different moments that we design for, and seeing how our clients interact and wear our pieces,' Hassanein explains. From there, the team revisited their brand codes - prints, embroidery, silhouettes that already work - and built out a new world using textures, colors, and art. 'We always try to maintain a mindset of playfulness during this process. It's where our most creative ideas stem from.' From beach mornings to evenings out, the clothes adapt to your whereabouts. There's the Tamara skirt and linen pants that work as transitional pieces, and evening sets like Amara that add just enough shine to a summer plan. One standout fabric this season? A crinkled cotton-linen blend encrusted with hand-embellished sequins. 'It's beautifully textured and lightweight,' says Hassanein. And more importantly: no one's steaming anything in this heat. As always, the styling stays true to Rebel Cairo's DNA: intuitive, bohemian, and just fun enough. 'We do not overthink it,' Hassanein adds. 'We try a few things until we feel like we've captured the spirit well.' Unsurprisingly, Dalida on vacation and Slim Aarons poolside were major inspirations on the moodboard. But beneath all the lightness, the brand's intention and purpose run deep. 'Our brand's motto, life in full color, is our unifying message and guiding spirit,' Hassanein says. 'It's a message of joy and lightness.' That shows up in the pieces, sure, but also in the mood they create - the clothes that make sense when you're already running late and everything else in your life feels too loud. So if you find yourself packing for Sahel or dressing for a party this weekend, there's a good chance RebelCairo is already in the mix. Because it just makes sense.

Monochrome Monday: The Sea Pink Edition
Sea Pink is millennial pink all grown up: sun-faded, slightly jaded, and all the cooler for it. May 26, 2025 Pink is one of those colours that never quite sits still. Sometimes it's playful, sometimes poetic — depending on the eye (and mood) of the beholder. It can feel delicate, bold, sweet, or a little bit stubborn. That's part of the magic. This week's take on the hue drifts somewhere softer. It's not the shiny, statement Barbie pink we've seen everywhere lately. It's gentler — the colour of sun-faded buildings in Cairo, of blush that's been in your makeup bag a little too long, of ballet shoes that have danced past their prime. It's the pink of fake gem earrings you once adored, of red leather worn down to something warmer, dreamier. A little nostalgic, a little grown-up, still holding onto its charm. This Monochrome Monday, Sea Pink gets her moment. Moroccan Touch︱Fadia Kaftan Billowing in form but balanced by sharp vertical stripes, this kaftan pairs its sea pink hue with crisp white, layered in an intricate floral pattern for added depth. Mallakä︱The Pink Panther Jacket Crafted from 100% cowhide leather in a standout shade of pink, this jacket elevates the boldness of its colour with an oversized, boxy silhouette that delivers edge with comfort. Maison Yeya | Act 13 A plunging V-neckline gives way to ripples of layered pink satin; frothy, fluid, and tidal. Gathering at the chest, the fabric then cascades down the skirt in soft, undulating folds. This is the dress for your Cinderella moment: think castle cloisters and dramatic exits. Kayali︱Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar With notes of glazed candied pear and bubble gum, this fragrance enhances the playfulness of the classic vanilla scent. An added accord of tonka bean, sandalwood, and patchouli round out this fruity fragrance, giving it a maturity akin to sea pink. Rebel Cairo︱Tawila Kaftan Dress Vertical stripes of sea pink and brown endow an earthiness to this kaftan from Rebel Cairo with patterned bell sleeves completing the flowing silhouette. This is the ultimate compliment to any outdoor event in the spring sun. Joanna Dahdah︱Lila Ring Pink Enamel Add a playful pop of pink to your jewellery collection with this enamel ring from Joanna Dahdah. Lurline︱Checkboard Chainmail Cami Top Channel your inner medieval chess master with this checkerboard chainmail cami from Lurline. This is a piece that can hold its own, or be layered with other folds of pink for a statement monochrome look. Naked Wolfe︱Bluebell Rafia Flowers Embellished with the Naked Wolfe logo in pearl and a weaved platform heel, these shoes are a colourful exploration of material, and a true embodiment of pink. Playful, cutesy perhaps, and unabashedly statement, it's mandatory to pair these with a similarly bold pink outfit. Maison Pacinthe Badran︱La Meduse SS24 A chiffon bodice acts like a corset dissected in this gown from Maison Pacinthe Badran. Exposed stays move into a fitted skirt which splits at the thigh for an added drama. Marzook︱Wild Rose Clutch This baby pink clutch is like a clam unearthed from the sea depths. Encrusted with pearl beads, it's the classic clutch for any evening event. Okhtein︱Dome Shades Struggling to see the bright side? These rose-tinted glasses will do just the trick.

The SceneStyled Mother's Day Edit
This curated edit is the ultimate reminder that mums deserve more than just a hurried 'thank you'— they deserve to be celebrated. Mother's Day is creeping up (and if you forgot, she will remind you—probably with a passive-aggressive smile). One day a year to acknowledge the patience, love, and full-time emotional labor that keeps the world running. A last-minute bouquet? Weak. She deserves better. Whether she's the sentimental type who collects memories in gold and silver, the skincare obsessive with a bathroom shelf that rivals a beauty editor's, or the effortlessly cool mum whose wardrobe somehow stays ten steps ahead of yours, this Mother's Day Edit has something for her. The kind of gift she actually wants. The kind she wouldn't just buy for herself. MAC Cosmetics | Lustreglass Lipstick in Thank's It's MAC A swipe of this hydrating, glossy nude is like an instant pick-me-up, because mums don't always have time for a full glam routine. It's effortless, classic, and polished (just like her), making it the perfect 'throw it in your bag and go' lipstick. Rebel Cairo | The Oasis Maxi Cardigan For the mum who balances being effortlessly cool, this Rebel Cairo knit cardigan is a dream. The brown tricot is weighty enough to feel luxe, while the denim-blue embroidered motifs add just the right amount of personality. Bonus? The belt can double as a scarf (just like mum's ability to juggle 500 things at once). Azza Fahmy | Talisman Necklace with Pearls If your mum is the type who drops poetic wisdom at the dinner table, this necklace might just be the perfect gift. Inspired by Algerian tribal jewellery and inscribed with poetic verses by Saudi poet Ghazi El Kesbi, this 18Kt gold and sterling silver piece is adorned with talismans, pearls, and semi-precious stones. Charmaleena | Tales & Treasures Picture Pendants These picture pendants are crafted in 18k yellow gold and diamonds, with a baguette setting that can be engraved with her handwritten message or a cherished photo. It's the sentimental-but-still-chic gift she'll never want to take off. Vanina World | Fringe Gown For the mum who loves a little flair (literally), this Vanina dress with cascading fringe is a showstopper. The chocolate brown satin gives off an air of quiet luxury, while the dramatic black tassels add a touch of bohemian glamour. Basically, it's perfect for the woman who makes an entrance, even when she's just showing up to brunch. Studio Amelia | Halo in Brown Consider these the ultimate 'cool mum' shoes. The sculptural heel, the sleek silhouette, the rich brown hue, it's an elevated take on a classic, perfect for the mum who appreciates a minimalist aesthetic but still wants to make a statement. Dara Hamarneh | Tube in Iceberg A handbag that's both practical and painfully chic? Yes, please. Dara Hamarneh's Tube in Iceberg is a structured, Italian-made calf leather bag that fits all the essentials without looking bulky, perfect for the mum who's always on the go but refuses to compromise on style. Tissot | Tissot PRX in 25mm If your mum is always on time (or, let's be honest, always telling you to be on time), this sleek Tissot PRX is the ultimate upgrade. The 25mm case is elegant and compact, with a vintage-inspired design that's modern, timeless, and totally effortless. Serrb | Look 11 in Eid Collection If there's one thing a mum appreciates, it's timeless elegance. This all-white ensemble from Serrb is the epitome of understated luxury, blending modesty with a sharp, tailored edge. Dior | J'adore Parfum d'Eau One spritz of J'adore Parfum d'Eau is enough to evoke memories of childhood—watching your mum rush out the door, leaving behind an intoxicating trail of florals. With jasmine, magnolia, and neroli, it's floral but never overpowering, clean yet warm. House of Babylon | Waffle Robe in Laurel Green Let's be honest— she deserves a spa day every day. While we can't book her a full-on retreat and be away from her for too long, this ultra-plush waffle robe in a serene green hue is the next best thing. Lurra the Brand | Dune Set There's something about a coordinated set that makes getting dressed feel easy and polished. The Dune Set is light, breathable, and effortlessly elegant, the kind of piece she'll wear on repeat, whether she's running errands or heading to a casual dinner. Okhtein | Embossed Cardholder Sleek and compact, this genuine leather cardholder features Okhtein's signature brass rod logo and a smooth nylon interior for easy card access, making it perfect for the mum who's always on the move. Estée Lauder x Ladurée | The Radiance Routine Resilience Multi-Effect Skincare Set Estée Lauder and Ladurée teamed up to bring luxurious skincare wrapped up in a Parisian-inspired cosmetic bag. This Estée Lauder x Ladurée set includes a full-size Resilience Multi-Effect Moisturizer, plus travel-sized treats: a firming serum, night cream, and eye cream— all packed in the chic cosmetic bag. Mothernaked | 'No Dark Circles' Eye Patches Mums have earned their dark circles, but that doesn't mean they have to keep them. These ultra-soothing eye patches brighten, depuff, and give a much-needed refresh (because beauty sleep is a myth, but great skincare isn't). Mozarri Jewelry | Numbers Ring This delicate, minimalist gold ring is perfect for the mum who loves subtle jewellery with a little meaning. Whether she wears it solo or stacked, it's a sleek way to keep a special number (birthdays, anniversaries, lucky digits) close to her heart. Sa Studio | Nawa Kaftan A modern twist on a traditional kaftan, this flowy, embroidered beauty is a must-have for mums who appreciate comfort without sacrificing style, and it's perfect for what's left of Ramadan gatherings. Odeem | Dual-Tone Bucket Bag This sculptural bucket bag in contrasting leather tones is as practical as it is striking. It's the perfect statement piece for the mum who loves her handbags just as much as she loves her kids (and maybe even a little more— don't take it personally). Amr Saad | The 510 Amr Saad's sculptural 510 ring is an architectural marvel, mixing boldness with wearability. For the mum who isn't afraid to stand out, this one's a conversation starter at sporting clubs or mummy groups. Mamari Jewelry | Heart Ring in White Gold Crafted in sleek white gold, its minimalist silhouette keeps it timeless, while the delicate contours of the heart add just the right touch of sentimentality. Noirgaze | The Scallop Think of The Scallop as the ultimate finishing touch. Whether it's a delicate and dainty look, a bold outfit, or a minimalist look, this Noirgaze design brings a little something special to any outfit. Braes | DIY Hair Recovery Kit If your mum is obsessed with her haircare routine, this kit is the perfect addition. With nourishing treatments that revive and restore, it's basically a salon day in a box.

With its cherry print and secure design, it's ready to stash mums' coins and tiny treasures, whether tucked in your tote or carried solo for a playful touch.
