GEORGES HOBEIKA

Born in 1962 in Baskinta, a village in the Lebanese mountains, Georges Hobeika learned the art of sewing in his mother's workshop. Forced to flee the country during the civil war, he found refuge in Paris, where he worked for prestigious brands such as Chanel. Back in Lebanon, he opened his own workshop in 1995 and has since enjoyed international success. He opened a boutique in Paris in 2010, rue royale, and since then has dressed many stars and members of the Saudi, Qatari and Kuwaiti royal family.
