Jad Ghandour, the next Elie Saab?
Jad is a dear friend that I have known for years. I meet him through my cousin and I always considered him as my little Brother. But the little Brother has grown up to a major designer in Lebanon ! When I meet him I was just applying for Parsons School and he immediately expressed to me his dream of becoming one day a fashion designer.
I of course never though in a million years he will really make it. But here it is, Jad has become a quite popular and successful designer in Lebanon for the past years. Lebanon is not a major fashion platform and has faced a lot of political issues. However, Beirut is at the heart of some of the most influential international well-known designers from Elie Saab, George Chakra, Elio Aziz, Zuhair Murad, Abed Mahfouz, all sparkle the international fashion scene with their glamorous red carpet creations. They are the true masters of evening gowns ! At not even 24 years old, Jad’s creations compete with the major names, reflecting the atypical Lebanese lavish sparkling couture sophistication.
I am so proud of what he has achieved. Jad is definitely one of these fashion child prodigies following closely the trace of Elie Saab himself.
