ABOUT ME
Hello,
I’m Maha Al Shamlan!
I am an haute couture designer with extensive experience in fashion design since 2000. I specialize in the design and printing of fabrics, and I was awarded first place in a prestigious fashion design competition in Lebanon (Tomorrow’s Designers) in 1999. Over the years, I have participated in numerous art exhibitions and fashion shows, always pushing the boundaries of creativity and innovation. My designs, inspired by luxury and uniqueness, cater to those who seek elegance in their lifestyle. I focus on crafting fantasy-inspired bridal gowns, blending beauty and sophistication in each piece. My work celebrates the essence of the modern woman, who embodies elegance and seeks a refined, exquisite look for her special day.
