About
Fashion designer based in Beirut, exploring identity, duality, and the tension between what is revealed and what remains hidden. My work combines conceptual storytelling with experimental silhouettes, material exploration, and a dark, contemporary approach to fashion.
This collection explores the fetishization of masculinity and the roles imposed through ideas of strength, control, dominance, and discipline. Clothing becomes a metaphor for the tension between the composed exterior and the hidden interior, where vulnerability, desire, instability, and contradiction exist. Through structure, compression, restraint, exposure, and pressure, the garments express this conflict physically. Intercourse is perceived as a collision between opposing forces: power and fragility, dominance and surrender. As the surface begins to crack and the concealed becomes visible, the collection questions the masculine image we fetishize and asks how much of it is authentic and how much is performance.
