Shy and reserved mister Kobeisy about telling us with passion about his teenage beginnings in his father’s studio, and his graduation at Esmod, the school of design and fashion in Beirut.

In 2002 he opened his first atelier, eight years later he launched the ready-to-wear. Soon followed the wedding dresses, a line designed with architectural volumes. This inspiration comes from Monsieur Christian Dior and the mythic John Galliano, a skilled storyteller of a fashion able to give the coup de théâtre of clothes with an artistic touch.
