ZAHN-Z designer, Hiba Husayni, made her debut in COUTURE’s 2025 Design Atelier, where she took home Best in Debuting at the COUTURE Design Awards. Her Zaha and Sadaf collections are now core to her distinct, aesthetic DNA, and her pieces are becoming increasingly well known throughout the industry and beyond. It was an absolute joy to sit down with Hiba to talk about her journey to jewelry design, to hear about her experience working with her mentor and her fellow mentees in COUTURE’s volunteer designer mentorship program, and to learn what’s on the horizon for ZAHN-Z.
