Libbie Mugrabi, art-collector-turned-creative, is launching her debut Street Luxe, fashion collection at London Fashion Week, in February 2023. 

Libbie Mugrabi, 42, is a philanthropist, designer, art collector and artist. A mother of two children, Mary and Joseph, the family spend their time between New York, The Hamptons and Miami. 

2023 heralds a new era for Mugrabi as she launches her first Street Luxe fashion collection, which brings together her love of art and design. 

Her debut Street Luxe collection, featuring hats, hoodies T-shirts, and sunglasses, will launch in February 2023, at London Fashion Week. 

There is a strong sustainable element to the collection. “Our passion to align with sustainable development goals, helped us to produce consciously, from recycled and organic materials with people and planet in mind.

We are also making limited editions pieces, adding value to the collector market,” says Mugrabi

Hats are her USP and ahead of her London Fashion Week debut, Mugrabi will launch her distinctive hat designs with a series of pop-up shops in the UK and USA. 

The first hat pop-up will be in London in December 2022, the London event will be followed by pop-ups in the USA.  

Why Street Luxe? Her children, Mary and Joseph inspired Mugrabi, after taking her on a Gen-Z pilgrimage to the Supreme store, where she noticed a major gap in the market. Streetwear was geared towards boys. Girls who wanted to be part of it, were obliged to wear the boy’s collections. She saw a need for something more inclusive and developed the Street Luxe concept.  

Street Luxe merges luxury fashion with non-binary streetwear that reaches out to all generations. It is gender fluid and unisex, bringing a diversity of people together. Libbie believes that only streetwear, with its universal appeal, has the power to do this. It is what excites her most about Street Luxe. 

A hoodie is a luxury, a baseball cap is privacy and a T-shirt is an iconic hero. These staple pieces - hats, hoodies, T-shirts and sunglasses - are the canvases for her.  

Libbie was inspired to experiment with prints and graphics by Andy Warhol, whose work she has lived with and loved for years. His use of colour and his screen printing methods have influenced her designs, whilst Warhol’s pop philosophy chimes with her desire to reach out to a broad audience. 

Mugrabi’s life has always intersected with art and creativity. Her grandparents and parents collected art and she grew up surrounded by art and artists. As a young girl, she would watch her cousin, the legendary pop artist and illustrator Peter Max as he painted models in his New York studio. It kick-started her life-long obsession with art, especially animation. 

She married into the Mugrabi family (who are leading collectors of Andy Warhol, with over 800 works). For two decades, she has been a dynamic and influential figure in the art world, carving a ‘tour de force’ reputation for her creative collaborations and supporting many artists in building their market. She has an eye for spotting and nurturing young, creative talent. Post-divorce, she has focused on her own collecting, and has expanded her creative and philanthropic work. She is a benefactor at the V&A Museum where she sponsors the influential Fashion In Motion initiative, which brings emerging fashion designers to a broader public. 

Libbie has always been a cultural collaborator and collaboration will be at the heart of the Street Luxe project and drive it forward. Her future plan is to build a lifestyle brand and, in the process, create a movement, bringing the two worlds of fashion and art together.
