My fav one is Max Azria :cheers: He's Tunisian.

http://www.tuniscope.com/uploads/images/content/f-maxazria-170209-1.jpg

speaking of Tunisians Hedi Slimane is one of the most famous designers at least for me :)

http://frillr.com/files/images/HediSlimane.jpg

^^

True. He revolutionized men's fashion with Dior Homme. So much more important and relevant than those Lebanese designers trying to make the same red carpet mermaid-dress over and over again.

^^
totally agree :)

^^

True. He revolutionized men's fashion with Dior Homme. So much more important and relevant than those Lebanese designers trying to make the same red carpet mermaid-dress over and over again.

I dont understand why this dude couldn't just revolutionize Dior Homme w 5alas... Lebanese fashion designers are world known whether they are good or not at what they do is a matter of personal choice, this dude being good at "x" doesn't undermine any Leb talent..

shou 7al falsafi.. ma bef7em

I'm saying what he did for men's fashion (when he was designing Dior Homme) was truly revolutionary and almost single-handedly defined the way men dressed in the past decade. For me, personally, I think that's more relevant than, say, a Georges Chakra dress that Eva Longoria wore to the Daytime Emmy's...when put within a "MENA" fashion designers context.

But, you're right, it is a matter of personal taste.

There is also Sidney Toledano the president and chief executive Officer of Christian Dior Couture. He's Moroccan from Casablanca :cheers:

Laila Azhar

Born in Morocco, designer Laila first moved to the United States with her family at the age of five. She spent her childhood traveling between Morocco and Washington, D.C., before finally moving to Canada to attend McGill University in Montreal. Whilst earning her Bachelors degree in Biology, Laila was gratefully exposed to the fashion industry through modeling opportunities which served as a catalyst and driving force to create her own designs.

In 2002, Laila enrolled in Parsons School of Design to pursue her strong ambition of becoming a fashion designer. After graduating and working for two years as an Assistant Designer, Laila knew it was time to materialize her vision into reality. She launched her label into the Women’s Designer Contemporary market and was immediately well received both critically and commercially.

Laila designs for the individualistic, independent metropolitan woman whose wardrobe is an extension of her confidence, originality and sophistication. Her personal style reflects the pure elegance of simplicity with a taste for uniquely sculpted silhouettes that thrive on understatement. Rather than chasing trends, Laila designs beautiful, sexy clothes that are practical yet romantic, uninvolved yet constructive, and timeless yet modern. The foundations of her designs are fabrics and textiles which she manipulates to create silhouettes that best emphasize their qualities

Razan Alazzouni - Saudi Arabia

http://www.fustany.com/designers/images/3ed64_Razan-Alazzouni-Fashion-Designer-Saudi-Arabia-Fustany.jpg

From an early age Razan Alazzouni exhibited a strong passion for all things related to art. Born and raised in Saudi Arabia, however, Razan found herself in an environment not conducive to artistic creativity. Determined to pursue her passion formally and further develop as an artist Razan applied to The School of Museum of Fine Arts and TUFTS University in Boston, Massachusetts where she spent her college years. While there, she concentrated on sculpture, screen-printing, and papermaking. Running parallel to her passion for art all these years was Razan’s love of fashion. Since graduating, Razan has dedicated herself exclusively to this field, and developing her own clothing line. Rather than abandoning her art roots, Razan’s education paved the way for creating articles of clothing that are not only creative and original but sculptural as well and which heavily draw on her earlier influences..

guys i think you guys are missing Bijan, the fashion legend

He is not that great, he only speaks to a hand full of billionaires, his reach is limited, almost no one knows him or his work, we Iranians do because well... we don't have many Iranian fashion designers so a haut couterier is already something.

^^ doesnt matter

he was probably one of the forst international designers, owner of the worlds most expensive store

he made clothing for politicials , big ones, even for armani
he colaborated with rolls royce and bugatti, hes the best in his job, he was out of reach yea

but , hes dead now anyways

sorry to burst your bubble guys but dressing hollywood stars doesn't mean you are a good designer ,, it just mean that your work appeal to some white trash who have money...
i would prefer to be worn by a uni students living in Camden town over someone like nicole kidman

again, did we mention hollywood stars? i said politicians (kofi annan, bush etc) , yes a few stars as well here and there
when one of the worlds biggest designers (armani) buys a suit from someone else, it tells about the power and quality of work of that someone else
if his work was trash luxury car companies wouldnt sign him to redecorate the interiors of their automobiles , if you guys are all such good fashion designers and criticists why dont i hear your names out in the market ? :nuts: lol

he didnt design crap for ordinary people
and btw, he designed manly suits, and other male attire, so no nicole kidman my friend
please dont express very critical opinions when u probably hadnt heard of the guys befor

and theres no "bubble to burst" here its not like i revenue from him, cant care much about what someguy halfway across the world does /did

hey SoroushPersepolisi ,, i wasn't talking to you in particular ,, my post is for everyone in this thread :)

lol oh,
u could of saved me from typing that paragraph :D

There's a Lebanese fashion designer thread, and I thought we can highlight other designers from the region:

by their lastnames-yes

Elbaz is a Jewish Last name ??
many saudi families have Elbaz variation last names :)

In Algeria it's a common jewish name. From Constantine more exactly.

what does it mean ??

what does it mean ??

Here is what I found:

Patronyme porté par des Juifs d'Afrique du Nord. Le nom signifie faucon en arabe ('al-bâz) et semble faire référence à Josué, dont un des surnoms dans la Bible est le Faucon. Variantes : Elbaze, Elbez, Elbeze, Albaz. Tous ces noms peuvent s'écrire aussi avec séparation de l'article (par exemple El Bez, El Beze).

^^ So it's a jewish family name in Northern Africa. It means Falcon in Arabic (باز) in reference to Joshua, who's surname in the Bible is The Falcon.

Same for:Elbaze, Elbez, Elbeze, Albaz

interesting ,,
thank you so much ,,
it means the same thing here too :))

^^ You're welcome.
