The fashion industry in Lebanon has taken a beating- however an improvement is in sight. The innovative partnership between one of the most reputable fashion houses in the world and a university contributes to students taking the confident steps into their creative future with legacy and guidance of the Elie Saab house.
It is good news in a nation where many fashion talents have immigrated. Fuelled by a 12-year partnership with the Lebanese fashion designer Elie Saab, the fashion design program at the Lebanese American University has just graduated its ninth cohort. The total of the show in the “Panorama” presentation was showcasing young designers who had next opportunities to gain experience in the interesting work experience with Elie Saab.
This venture is beyond education, an investment into the cultural revival of Lebanon. These new talents are becoming globally marketed and essentially mentored in a period when the local market is struggling. Having such solid support, the chance of having an animated homegrown fashion industry is not just a dream but it is turning to reality.
This alliance gives hope to the fashion enthusiast, industry analysts and promoters of Lebanese craftsmanship. It displays the ways education and legacy can tend to be related to turn tomorrow into a better day. Learn how the past and future of fashion meet in Lebanon, in our entire feature!
