IN SHORT

A committed entrepreneur and passionate designer, Farah S. Al Babtain is creative director at Groupxen and the force behind a number of its brands, from fashion to art to interior design. Decidedly hands-on and a firm believer in not leaving it to others to do the things you can do yourself, Farah wants to see Kuwait’s talent bloom. “I want to see youth reaching their goals without waiting for help. Go out and try to turn your struggles to your advantage. You have to work to defy your complaints, to defy the difficulties, to get over the struggles of life,” she says. “I want to see more young talent come out and shine.”
