WARDROBE 27 TRUNK SHOW HOSTED AT MAKTABI AT THE PARK
BEIRUT | JULY 9-11 2026
For the first time, Mira Maktabi brought her collection to Beirut, the city where she was born and raised. Hosted at Maktabi at The Park, her family’s gallery of handmade Persian rugs, the trunk show unfolded amongst generations of craftsmanship and richly textured carpets. Mira grew up surrounded by the family business, developing an instinctive appreciation for wool, silk, craftsmanship, and the enduring beauty of objects made by hand, values that continue to shape her work today.
The evening was hosted for friends and family of the brand, creating a personal return to the city and community that have shaped Mira’s perspective. Faqra Catering complemented the gathering with an intimate selection of food, bringing together fashion, family, craftsmanship, and the warmth of Beirut.

WARDROBE 27 HOSTED BY MIMMA VIGLEZIO
In May 2026, Mira Maktabi gathered with friends, industry peers, and supporters of the brand for an intimate presentation hosted by Mimma Viglezio in London. The evening marked a moment of connection around the collection, bringing together women who have supported Mira’s journey and share an appreciation for thoughtful design, craftsmanship, and clothes with a strong sense of identity.
Mimma has been a constant source of guidance, encouragement, and belief in Mira’s work, making the evening particularly personal. Hosted in an intimate setting, the presentation allowed guests to experience the collection up close, with conversation and connection at its centre. It was an evening that reflected the spirit of Mira Maktabi: personal, considered, and rooted in the relationships that continue to shape the brand.
