The Designer's Hub

History

The Designers Hub was founded in 2020, beginning with textile principles and business masterclasses led by Mr. Yaser Albeer, who brings over 20 years of experience in the fashion and textile industry. As Creative Director of Yaser & Mayasa Textiles and a member of several national and international fashion organizations and committees including the Toronto Fashion Incubator, Fashion Factor, and the Middlesex Icon Program, his expertise has been central to shaping the platform. Over the past five years, the Hub has grown to support fashion designers and entrepreneurs across the GCC and beyond. It offers comprehensive consultations on building fashion brands, alongside practical masterclasses and workshops. A key initiative is the Manufacturing Tour, with more than 15 rounds organized to give participants hands-on experience in sourcing and working with apparel manufacturers in the UAE. The Designers Hub has already helped hundreds of brands develop their ideas into successful businesses and continues to empower new talents to reach their full potential.
