let's play a round of q&a with dany himself.
what is your design inspiration?
coming from colorful mosaic lebanon, much of my inspiration is from the beauty of the land and its people. i like mixing materials, patterns and colors to represent parisian chic, american sportiness, asian tradition and bold lebanese mosaic hues. but many things inspire me- a movie, a song, a shopping window, a flower. the street is the biggest catwalk for me. i am like a radar. anything can provoke me and stimulate my senses.
tell us a little known fact about you?
i stopped the music, got on one knee and proposed to my wife karima during the finale walk at nyfw on valentine’s day 2013.
q. describe your personal style:
when i am at home and not working, i would say smart casual. i like a well-made t-shirt and black jeans. i like my doc martins and chelsea boots. my working style is elegant and classic. black suits, white or black tailored shirts. i prefer pieces that are timeless.
q. who is your style icon?
many! grace kelly, audrey hepburn...from mild to wild…i choose madonna.
q. when did you know that you were going to design bridal?
i always knew i would wind up somehow in the world of art. in my childhood i was drawn to sketching women’s clothing. i was inspired by the hollywood actresses on the red carpet. when i was around 16 years old, i expressed an interest in becoming a stage director or tv journalist, but my parents didn't support my decision. i was still mesmerized by the charm of hollywood actresses and kept sketching gowns i would design for them. when i experienced the reaction of people around me on my sketches, i realized that i was destined to pursue this gift.
