"It's a great honor for me to take part in OpenMyMed Prize, such a great competition with a strong international reputation. This Fashion Prize will certainly help us acquire new knowledge in the fashion industry, and work in depth on our business model."

Moroccan designer Zineb Britel was born in Casablanca, Morocco. After studying fashion design at Esmod Paris and gaining experience in two French fashion houses, Christian Dior and Sonia Rykiel, she discovered her true passion and talent in shoe design. With her partner Laura Pujol, they founded the ZYNE brand, with the aim of bringing the famous "babouches", ancestral Moroccan shoes with their traditional craftsmanship, back into the 21st century. Born in the 90s, they play on a relaxed multicultural style, a vibe made popular by their generation.
