For Lubna Najjar, fashion is business, passion, and part of everyday life. As an international fashion mogul, author, entrepreneur, and Columbus native, Lubna knows where to find high-quality styles that you’ll love for years to come.
We caught up with Lubna to ask her about her favorite fashion brands in Columbus; here’s what she said.
Encinas Designs
Gerardo Encinas immigrated to the U.S. from Mexico and got his start in the business with help from the Columbus Fashion Council's incubator program for new designers. Gerardo started in the world of couture, but has recently opened a brick-and-mortar shop in Columbus with statement-making, ready-to-wear styles. Stopping by Gerardo’s shop is a must for Lubna ahead of special events to piece together the perfect look.

Her Denim gives back a percentage of its profits to organizations helping close the wage gap for women. You can find HER Denim at Luxe Levels in Columbus or shop their looks online.
