They caught our attention during an event that took place last month in Kuwait, specifically during the gathering of 360 Mall for the launch party of The Magic Circle with Oud team, where their picture was published on social media, especially on our Snapchat account 3oud.com, and this prompted us to ask about the identity of these two young girls, who bring joy with them wherever they go.Finally, we learned that they are Yasmina and Farah Al Sabah, two young girls who are distinguished by their modesty and high morals, as well as a rich culture that reflects the true reality of the Kuwaiti girl.Based on our goal to shed light on the distinguished young Kuwaiti faces, we had this meeting with Yasmina and Farah Al Sabah.

And starting with Yasmina...

My full name is Yasmina Mubarak Hammoud Salman Al Sabah

I am 27 years old and I feel that my age stopped at the age of 21.

Tell us more about yourself?

I'm a life example of someone who loves chaos and you won’t be able to understand that until you get to know me better. Everyone knows that I am picky in what I wear and carry, and in what I want to hear and learn. I am known to make people cry with laughter.

Why did you live in Beirut?

I moved to Beirut when I was 12 years old to study there. It was very difficult at the beginning and it took me several years to adapt because Kuwait was all I knew.

Why did you come back to Kuwait now?

I think that Kuwait at the present time needs us and as well as we need it. We were in a state of thirst and need for the homeland. I feel now that I can express that more as an active citizen who wants to give back for all that this country has given to me and I think that's might be part of the positive change.

What is your goal after coming back to Kuwait, or what are you looking for?

I'm not looking for anything and I haven’t been trying to do so through my entire life, I’m just trying to learn from each experience I’m indulged in.

Why did you pose for this photo session in particular?

The idea came by chance, and it was launched from the “The Magic Circle” event that was held here in Kuwait at 360 Mall. Especially that I was able to do it with my sister Farah. I did this out of my belief in young Kuwaiti talents and their luxury brands, such as Najeeba Hayat, who is considered one of my favorite figures and a role model for Kuwaiti women, as well as Zainab Al Abd Al Razzak, the founder of 3oud.com. I believe that this strength will be a motive for a great collaboration.
