Syrian-born, Dubai-based designer Rami Al Ali has long been a fixture on the Paris couture scene. For over a decade, he has shown his collections off-calendar, quietly establishing himself as a go-to for red carpet glamour and timeless elegance. But as of 10 July, Al Ali will step onto the official Paris Couture Week schedule, marking a significant milestone not just for the designer, but for the region he represents.
Al Ali becomes the first designer working out of Dubai to receive this recognition from the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode (FHCM), the governing body for French fashion, and joins a growing list of Arab names on the prestigious calendar, including Saudi Arabia’s Ashi Studio, and Lebanon’s Elie Saab, Zuhair Murad and Georges Hobeika.
