I'm proud to be showcasing some of the top emerging names in the fashion industry in the Middle East. And today's new and inspiring creative talent is from the lovely Lebanon. Recently graduated from Parsons the New School of Design in New York with a Fashion Design degree, ASK alumni and Lebanese designer Sarah Hermez is my latest talent discovery from our region. Sarah has interned with Issey Miyake, Stephanie Coudert, and Rabih Keyrouz. And according to my sources, one of her dresses has been actually displayed in Saks Fifth Avenue. How cool is that!?Featured here are some of her spectacular spring/summer Parsons thesis collection inspired by African masai warriors and their extraordinary use of color, massive beaded necklaces. Her collection was also experimenting with texture through knitting multicolor strips of chiffon, organza, silk, and the creation of hand-painted prints. A fun and bright collection that adds an enviously jolt of vibrant hues to any wardrobe.

I think the beauty of fashion design is that you can let your creativity extend to infinity without geographical or origins boundaries.. so I see nothing wrong with her designs being inspired by a different culture. Just like what Riccardo Tisci did to the Givenchy couture show, several of his designs were inspired by the Middle eastern culture and the biggest international fashion portals praised him for such creativity...
