The driving forces behind NADINE MERABI? At the helm of the recognisable dress signatures and the empowered business strategy are Nadine Merabi and Blue Wilson, who come together in a perfect harmony of design, business and entrepreneurial ingenuity.
As a self-taught seamstress and businesswoman, Nadine places a heavy emphasis on making women feel confident when wearing her pieces. Using the finest quality materials from all over the world, Nadine ensures her collections are created to be cherished, collected and adored - made with heart and made by hand.
As a business owner, Nadine prioritises a supportive approach and is a values-driven leader to ensure the best outcome for both the brand and the team.
“Women go from believing ‘I could never wear that’ to feeling a million dollars. I love nothing more than knowing my designs help this and are a part of your special moments in life. A dress doesn’t control your self confidence in life, but it can genuinely help your confidence for the night.”

NADINE MERABI’S journey from international England hockey player to global fashion designer is anything but ordinary. Born to a Lebanese father and British mother, the designer has taken the industry by storm with her showstopping sequin and feather-embellished dresses, jumpsuits, and co-ords since her eponymous brand’s inception in 2016. Merabi’s passion for explosive palettes and celebration of timeless glamour stems from her Middle Eastern heritage, combined with timeless shapes and fine quality tailoring to create the unique signature that is the MERABI look today. Nadine’s late father is still her greatest inspiration and is seen through his daughter’s designs that combine his flair, passion, and confidence to experiment with colour.
Nadine’s fashion journey began while she was organising events alongside her hockey career. She began to see the necessity for pieces that allowed her to experiment freely with fashion. Faced with a market saturated with replica designs, poor fit and quality along with overpriced dresses, Nadine set about changing this with the passion and desire to create one-of-a-kind pieces that would make every woman feel special. So that’s exactly what she did. Nadine bought a £250 sewing machine, a selection of cut-off fabric pieces from a local haberdashery store, and learned how to sew by watching YouTube videos.
Then, a request came in to dress a celebrity for the forthcoming National Television Awards. The next day the dress was on every single news outlet's front cover. It’s only when Selfridges asked for a meeting that Nadine realised the real potential of her creations. At that point, although she hadn’t mastered all sewing techniques, she told them she would deliver and she did. And that was simply just the beginning with the brand continuing to rapidly expand as it celebrates half a decade in business.
Blue always had a burning desire for business, entering the world of work at just 12 years old in an admin job which set her up with a strong sense of sheer determination to go much further. Now, with over a decade of experience in the fashion e-commerce sector building and driving global brands, Blue is the co-founder and managing director of Merabi, importing her expertise in fashion and business to the rapidly expanding label.
“The rule book has changed. Seasonal collections are part of the past. Life is far too short to wait to wear something you love. Our purpose is to celebrate and empower women and that is exactly what we do. Life is for celebrating. 365 days of the year, and we’re here for it.”

Describing herself as “driven, determined and a deep thinker,” Blue says that the success of her and Nadine’s relationship is owing to how they are both driven by a strong work ethic. Meanwhile, Blue’s thirst for knowledge and learning informs her day-to-day as she oversees the whole Merabi team to understand areas of development, expansion and celebration. One of her proudest achievements, developed during her tenure, is the growth of the team. Together with Nadine, Blue encourages them to take on a self-starting approach to make their goals realities and live life — professionally and personally – to the fullest. Making it happen is a day-to-day consideration of utmost importance..
Knowledge is powerful and Blue prides herself on encouraging those around to continue to learn, and grow. As Blue herself says, ”if you empower yourself to be the best that you can be, then those around you will also feel empowered and inspired to go for their dreams to succeed!” Wilson credits her mum, who raised her as a single parent, as being her biggest inspiration. Led by her values and drive to succeed, Wilson is an advocate for building world-class, high-performing teams, as is evident in her work across the Nadine Merabi brand.
Blue and Nadine show true testament to what women can achieve in business and this, they feel, is only the beginning working together to challenge and push the other to ensure that the business and the whole team reach its full potential.
