Our Story


Citizens of the World emerged from the vision of the founder and CEO Sarah Shihadeh, driven by a desire to redefine contemporary fashion. Amidst the dynamic shifts in trends, from fast fashion to high fashion and street styles, Sarah realized her clothing needs were inadequately addressed. As a city-dwelling professional with a keen eye for fashion, Sarah embarked on a mission to craft clothing line tailored for today's modern women. Our brand draws inspiration from everyday women, reflecting practicality and trendiness. Rooted in the essence of urban living and shaped by Sarah's passion, our collection is designed for women who appreciate fashion that seamlessly combines styles and practicality, catering to their diverse lifestyle.

You are a citizen of the world.

We design modern modest clothing for women who live with intention, who move through the world balancing career, family, creativity, and style.

Our mission is simple: to create fashion that honors modesty without sacrificing self-expression. Every piece in our collection is built to be worn your way, whether that's to a rooftop dinner, a work meeting, or a weekend away.

Welcome to wardrobe essentials redefined. Designed for movement. Built for presence. Worn with purpose.

Celebrating Every Woman

Inspired by women across cities, continents, and cultures, Citizens of the World is more than a fashion brand. It's a reflection of how we show up with confidence, coverage, and style.

A Message from Sarah

“In a world where countless women embrace diverse styles, mainstream media and runways often overlook our vibrant community. It’s time for a shift in representation.”
