The Secret Garden of Reem - Bloom Magazine - January 2007 Issue 15
Her name could read as Romantic English Eccentric Mode: REEM is an outspoken raw beauty with fiercely captivating eyes set in a pretty face - a tiny girl with a romantic soul changing the landscape of design.

Born in Iraq, raised in England, and self-made through willpower and impatience, by the age of thirteen this secret force of creation had already gained a very private cult following in the world of fashion and design.

From her market stall on London's historic Portobello Road, she teaches others what English eccentricity is all about: her Arabic roots push the envelope of exotic mixes even further by using fur, lace, cotton knits, stained linen under-skirts, embroidered pantaloons, dolled-up camisoles, and curious mementos suspended from stiffly-starched shirting collars with ceramic wooden beads, protestant jet strings, and catholic streams of crystal with shreds of matte cotton haberdashery and macrame, to compose floral fragments of visionary jewellery.

Many other designers shop at her stand, hunting for a forgotten detail or an unknown stitch, searching for a transformed shape or a vintage pattern. For years she has been a silent player backstage of the theatre and yet at the forefront of the fashion profession, advising brands, searching for future trends in decayed archives, and turning flea market rags into riches.
