Inheriting her love for textiles, Gemy committed to paving her way in the fashion industry using her unique and magical touch.

She maneuvered stunning bold colors, delicate fabric, and materials, along with feminine beauty to highlight sophisticatedness and elegance.

Her innate artistic flair expanded in 1996 when she opened her atelier in Beirut and became one of the first designers to launch the “Couture à Porter” concept in Lebanon.
