Iman Dabbous (b. 1999) is an Egyptian mixed-media artist, born in Cairo and raised in London, UK. In 2017, she relocated to the United States to pursue a BFA in Studio Art at the Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development, New York University. She graduated in 2022, following a year-long break during the Covid-19 pandemic to focus on developing her personal practice.
In recent years, Dabbous has focused primarily on fashion illustration and collage within the world of publishing. She regularly contributes to the US edition of 10 Magazine and has collaborated on several jewellery and fashion design projects. These collaborations have allowed her to explore the intersections of art and fashion, drawing inspiration from their shared visual and conceptual language.
Her work has been featured in the US edition of 10 Magazine, Architectural Digest online, and exhibitions including Egypt: Then and Now (Artscoops, 2024) and an earlier group show at Leighton House Museum, Holland Park, London.
