Laila
Allaoui
French Artist & Fashion Designer
I am Made in France and have been an expatriate in Qatar for over 13 years. From childhood, I have been interested in all things to do with art, from décor to photography. As I got older, I started to become really passionate about abstract paintings, horses, and everything that involves them. My work takes its origin in France and Qatar, and I feel it shows my feelings of positivity, my strong energy, and my absolute love of joyful colors. That is usually what catches people’s attention in my work. My inspiration comes from my surroundings wherever I am, on my travels, in a meeting at work, or with friends, anything and everything.

Color Your Mood Design
I founded Color Your Mood Design to celebrate colors, elegance, and timeless style. For me, every creation is a work of art, and every detail tells a story.
My journey in fashion has been shaped by my childhood in northeast France, my travels, and experiences in the fashion capitals of Paris and New York, where I developed a deep appreciation for artistry and precision. The defining moment for my brand came during the Qatar World Cup 2022, when I chose to wear my own creations in national colors, a bold choice that caught the media’s attention and sparked the birth of Color Your Mood Design.
My designs are inspired by my French heritage, my own paintings, global travels, and a lifelong passion for horses. Each piece carries a unique signature : bold in color, precise in detail, and rich in cultural storytelling.
