The Founder
Summat Iqbal is the founder and creative director of SUMMAT. With a deep-rooted passion for fashion, Iqbal oversees every aspect of the creative process—from concept development to defining the brand's core aesthetic, ensuring that each collection is a true reflection of SUMMAT's identity. As a hands-on creative director, she also manages the production process, making sure that her vision is executed with precision, dedication, and the highest standards of craftsmanship.
SUMMAT’s unique approach to evening wear was born from Iqbal’s belief that the market lacked designs that harmoniously combine classic aesthetics with exceptional craftsmanship. After years of experience as a fashion buyer, managing a portfolio of over 30 brands at one of UAE's leading fashion e-commerce platforms, Iqbal was inspired to create a brand that embodies refined, effortless elegance, with a focus on quality and timeless style.
Iqbal's keen interest in all things fashion and her formal education in business has helped shape her business acumen and understanding of market trends and needs in fashion. SUMMAT is a manifestation of her artistic vision, and reflects her philosophy of pursuing one's true calling with passion and authenticity.
Designed To Last
For SUMMAT, sustainability isn’t just about materials; it’s about longevity. The most sustainable thing we can do is create pieces that people will wear and love for years, not just for a season. That’s why we focus on high-quality fabrics, expert craftsmanship, and timeless silhouettes rather than trend-driven designs that have a short lifespan. Our production is also carefully managed to avoid waste—we produce in limited quantities and prioritize quality over volume. For us, exclusivity is not just a buzzword, it is a guiding principle rooted in sustainability.
