Shoug Fardan is an Emirati fashion designer born in Dubai in 1993. She graduated from Parsons School of Design in New York with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Fashion Design in 2017.

In her senior year at Parsons, Shoug created an all gender collection reflecting on old photographs of her grandmother in the early 70's (taken in Dubai), deconstructing and reconstructing traditions, and creating individuality within an existing society.
