This is one of my favorite times when I get to write about our famous Lebanese designers who incite pride in us when their creations dazzle the world.
In that regard, we can’t miss giving tribute to a young Lebanese designer whose talent has carried his name far across the seas to the most important festivals and award events.
Rami Kadi has been indeed dressing up celebrities and famous personalities with his creatively unique haute couture, an expertise that has led him in recent years to be one of the most in-demand designers in the middle east.
Rami, who launched his career in 2011 at the age of 25, has today 40 highly skilled tailors and craftspeople in his atelier in Lebanon.
In his words to Executive Magazine, “We definitely have a high level of craftspeople [in Lebanon], they’re qualified and have a strong savoir-faire. I’m always impressed by what they can achieve in every collection, and the amount of hours they spend on each dress.”
“Each dress takes about 1,200 hours of craftsmanship, and this really needs experts in the field.”
So, let’s take a look at some of the celebrities who have dazzled the crowds wearing his unusual designs.
