Muscat: Social media star Sheikh Majed Al Sabah, a member of the Kuwaiti royal family and a pioneer in the Middle East fashion world, is in Oman, a tweet from Oman Tourism said.
In a tweet posted with his picture, the authority revealed that Al Sabah had arrived.
Al Sabah has 266,000 followers on Instagram and 5,62,000 followers on Twitter.
According to his official website, his love of fashion started from a young age, and he dreamt of gathering all the giant brands into one place. He wrestled his way on the fashion ramp walks, and then negotiated with designers.
Al Sabah then attracted designer brands to Kuwait, and then Villa Moda was founded, which garnered attention not only in Kuwait, but also in the Gulf and the Middle East.
He started blending scents and creating perfumes from his room, and for his personal use, “What is the perfume you are wearing?” was a question he asked everybody, whether he was in meetings, or simply walking past people.
Al Sabah later collaborated with Tom Ford to blend and create for him the famous “Arabian Wood,” which became an instant bestseller. The success of his perfume also encouraged him to start the TFK brand in 2012, based on the philosophy of “East Meets West.”
Today, the TFK brand is sold at the prestigious Bergdorf Goodman in New York, Nieman Marcus in Los Angeles, Harvey Nichols and Selfridges in London, Milan, Russia, and across the Gulf.
When not doing business, using social media is Al Sabah’s way of approaching and engaging with his followers in a fun-loving way.
With his charming and witty personality, Al Sabah has changed the perception of using Snapchat. Sharing his stories with over a million viewers across the region, his “snaps” can be fun, informative, include facts, history, and his view as a world explorer in gaining knowledge from different cultures around the world.
