Amal Azhari
Personal information
Community/Lebanon Impact
Amal Azhari is a Lebanese fashion designer who, over the years, has acquired an international reputation.
Her talent and boundless passion for design led her to change careers, leaving behind ten years of experience in communications. She had initially pursued a Bachelor’s degree in Business & Marketing and a Master’s degree in International Affairs & Diplomacy, before deciding to follow her true calling.
In 2005, she took the leap and founded Amal Azhari Couture House with just one employee, focusing on designing evening bags along with high-end tunics and caftans.
Her success was immediate, as the demand for her artisanal creations grew rapidly. The turning point came in 2006 when her collection was showcased at Paris Fashion Week, an event she has participated in ever since.
Amal Azhari quickly proved that her talent surpassed expectations. Each summer season, she reinvents herself, challenging norms to present a collection that is always imaginative, one-of-a-kind, and distinct from what the market typically offers. Her work is consistently met with overwhelming success.
She draws inspiration from the Valentino Empire and Christian Lacroix, fascinated by their magical combination of colors and shades. Her designs are dedicated to the ultimate modern, glamorous, and self-confident woman.
Her modern yet romantic twist lends a distinctive character to her caftans and bags, defined by their soft edges. This refined touch and meticulous attention to detail are evident in the finishing of her unique pieces, including handmade bag interiors crafted with luxurious fabrics such as Habutai, Tabby, and Cotton Silk. All her fabrics are printed in India and Europe.
