An ongoing dialogue with nature’s beauty, Beirut’s legacy, history and the art world drives my design approach and brings to life a sophisticated sense of elegance through experimentation with fine material, colour, prints and textiles.

I graduated with a BA in fashion design at the Lebanese American University in collaboration with LCF and Elie Saab - with honours. I am currently doing my MDES is fashion & textiles at the Glasgow School of Art.

I gained experience in the field through internships at Mary Katrantzou in London as well as Georges Hobeika and Sara Melki in Beirut.

My graduate collection won the "Special Stone Award" at the International Lab of Mittelmoda Fashion Competition in Milan were it was selected among 4000 applicants and 23 finalists.

Relics

The inspiring life of Lee Miller the model, photographer and war correspondent triggered the search into old family photographs, stained letters and enshrined memory boxes to put in a locket the surviving remains of the spent days. Reminiscing over old scenes of Beirut, the collection translates the vintage feel of the past into fresh and sophisticated looks focusing on innovative textiles and modern silhouettes.
