The Dubai princess Deena- most influental person in Asia, and also in the rest of the world.
 
post your pics if you find some, because it is very hard to find some, but when I find one, it is always great. Love her style!:heart:

On both pics, she is on the left.
 
Yes, here is an interview from the nymag.com...she was spotted on 61st Street and Madison Avenue:

Where do you live?
For a long time, we were only here, on the Upper West Side, but now we are also back in Riyadh. It’s important for my husband. I’m sure you understand.


Do you like living between the two cities?
I love every single thing about New York. I even love having a hot dog! But I love the desert in Riyadh—it’s home, it’s family, and it’s stable.


What do you do?
I have three kids: a 5-year-old girl and twin boys, who are 3.


Where did you get your . . .
The skirt is Proenza Schouler, the T-shirt is Prada. The shoes are Miu Miu, and the bag is Hermès, of course. The charms are Prada. I’m a little bit of a Prada wh*re. The necklace is Lanvin, and the watch is Cartier.


That’s a lot of fashion. Are you particular about your beauty regime, too?
Well, yes. The shampoo is Kerastase, the moisturizer is Peter Thomas Roth. I start with his glycolic moisturizer, and then I do a lot of blendings, mostly with Armani bronzer fluid. For lipstick, I use glosses. I’m very ashamed to say this, but I really like the Jessica Simpson ones because they taste so good.


And perfume?
I blend an incense from my country that is very expensive per ounce. It’s the essential oil used in the most expensive perfumes. It’s not even amber—it’s a lot stronger than that. It’s a type of tree. I blend it with Fleur de Cassis by Frédéric Malle that I buy at Barneys, and also his Musc Ravageur body oil.


You really love fashion. Do you like fashiony movies?
Of course! Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Auntie Mame, All About Eve, Eyes of Laura Mars are my all-time favorites.


Did you see Fahrenheit 9/11?
I think it was very biased, but pro-democracy. It’s anti-Bush, which is okay; even his criticism of the Saudis I can understand. I might not agree with it, but I understand it.


So who do you want to win?
As a Saudi, Bush, but as an American, Kerry.

She seems interesting...from a political standpoint. So she's a saudi princess that owns a fashoin store, DNA? I found out about her in the The Row thread...
 
yeah that interview is interesting. I would expect her to express her views a lot less and be a lot more guarded so it's refreshing that she isn't. I enjoy her style.
 
Another interview from fashionista.com :

Us: Deena, we've heard so much about you!
Deena: Thanks! I love the name Fashionista - I love fashion blogs. The first one I ever read was Diane, a Shaded View of Fashion. They're so fun.
Us: And you can read them anywhere, even in Saudi Arabia.
Deena: So true.
Us: So tell us about your store...
Deena: Have you ever been to Riyadh?
Us: No, is it like Dubai? Is that a totally ignorant question?
Deena: It's okay. Dubai is like Las Vegas and Riyadh is like Washington DC. There are very powerful organizations there, heads of State, powerful families, and the environment is very conservative, so the clothing needs to reflect that - but that doesn't mean it shouldn't still be beautiful and stylish.
Us: We heard you worked with Diane Von Furstenberg...
Deena: To get longer wrap dresses made for Saudi women, yes. Diane adjusted some of her dresses so they would be floor-length, so Saudis could wear them. They're gorgeous.
Us: Did you call up Diane?
Deena: I was introduced to her by Christian Louboutin!
Us: What?!
Deena: Well Christian is a personal friend! His shoes are my favorites; he even named a shoe after me - the Deena.
Us: Are you kidding? Do you have it framed on your wall?
Deena: No, but it is something I will be able to tell my grandchildren about! It's incredible.
Us: How many Louboutins do you have?
Deena: Oh, don't ask me that. I have very many but they get scattered - see, my sister is wearing a pair of mine.
Us: And is that dress from your store?
Deena: No... I don't know where it's from...
Fashionista went to investigate - the dress came from H&M.

here is the Deena shoe, by Christian Louboutin:

yes, she is a very honest person...and I like it.B)
I am just so sad that there are not many photos of her on the internet...I am looking a lot through the net and I cannot find any new pics....I am desperate because I always love her new photos...:(
 
she's very pretty. i remember reading an interview with her about marc jacobs's last show.. i'll see if i can find it.
