Lebanese-born, Paris-raised Mira Mikati pursued her fashion ambitions from a young age, attending Paris's Ecole Superieure des Arts et Techniques de la Mode before gaining certificates from Parsons New York and Central Saint Martins. Her now-eponymous label was conceived in the early 2000s, with Selfridges and Bon Marche among the first to pick up orders. Her assembly of wares reflects the carefree and effortless style of a summer holiday. In spring 2020, in the midst of a global pandemic, Mikati opened her own boutique, Happy House, on London's Walton Street.
