    LEBANESE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY GRADUATING FASHION DESIGNERS 2017 1 - 9 FOREWORD 10 - 85 GRADUATING DESIGNERS 86 - 87 ELIE SAAB ATELIER & AWARDS 88 - 91 SELECTED WORKSHOPS 92 - 93 LECTURES & SYMPOSIA 94 - 95 INTERNSHIPS & JURORS 96 - 97 LIVE PROJECT 99 CREDITS It gives me great pleasure to present to you the culmination of the hard work undertaken by the first cohort of our Bachelor of Arts in Fashion Design in collaboration with ELIE SAAB and London College of Fash- ion in this exciting catalogue. Fashion is a discipline that can be used to drive change, and our program is designed to turn our graduates into actu- al trendsetters. They are taught to become designers with a unique vision centered on their own approaches to fashion, but with emphasis on socially responsible, human-centered, and sustainable practice. Indeed, our collaborative program provides an education not only in de- sign, but also in the business plans that allow these designs to be manu- factured. Our goal, which I am thrilled to say we have reached, is to pre- pare young talents to enter the competitive marketplace, with a focus on inventiveness. Our ultimate goal, which our graduates will lead, is to draw attention to the fashion industry, as it has the ability to promote economic growth, create jobs and boost exports, as well as retain Lebanese talent within the country. Modeled on the best fashion design programs offered at leading univer- sities worldwide, we offer the region’s students an education of the high- est possible international standards without having to travel too far from home.

  • ANOTHER BIG ROUND for the SMALL HEARTS Healing Sick Children Is Not for the Faint of Heart
    ANOTHER BIG ROUND FOR THE SMALL HEARTS Healing sick children is not for the faint of heart. Just imagine the interventions needed inside these fragile bodies. But the challenge has been met with courage and perseverance. Heartbeat doctors, musicians, donors and volunteers were up to the task. They have succeeded. But every day brings a new stricken child, a new medical intervention, and a new life saved. We have celebrated our ten years, and have entered into a new decade in our journey. Once again, we are turning to our team and supporters, to achieve what we have realized before but with a wider mission. More children treated, but also more activities, such as awareness campaigns, soothing and educating parents, better equipment and facilities, joining hands with other organizations, such as ‘Un Coeur Pour Philippe’, and touring parts of the country to reach people who have not yet heard of our services, or even how to detect and prevent heart disease. We have doubled the hours, the volunteers, and the number of patients is continuously increasing. This is where our contributors, small and large, need THE HEARTBEAT COMMITTEE to participate. Their donations cement our team effort. They are the blood of Tony Abdel Massih, M.D. - Ramzi Ashoush, M.D. - Khalil Assha - Anne Sophie Azzi, M.D. - Rim Baltaji - Elie Bekhazi - our organization, and an integral part of Caline Chaya Chaoul - Basile Choueiri - Nathalie Dimas Guerboyan - Ramzi El Hafez Fadi- El Hage - Anne-Marie El our medicine.

It is always the result of intelligent effort. John Ruskin The semester has finished, yet we carry on as normal. It’s 10 p.m. and designers are in and out of my office, juries are approaching and there is a sense of excitement and relief. The inks for the digital printer have arrived from London and it is all systems go with rolls of fabric piling up. The printer is currently churning out linen, silk, velvet, cotton and wool fabrics. The designs vary from the bleakest and most soul-baring to joyful stripes; one is even based on the first expression a child learns in Arabic: The boy ate the apple. It is extraordinary to think that this is just the second graduating year, yet we are a creative laboratory exploring and pushing the boundaries of fashion practice. Designers know that the work they put in now will transform their careers: the senior designers arrive first thing in the morning and leave at midnight.

Elle est également le fruit du travail exceptionnel des experts Mahassen Ajam, chercheuse et consultante en management et marketing stratégique et Nizar Hariri, professeur associé à la faculté de sciences économiques et directeur de l’Observatoire Universitaire de la Réalité Socio-Economique (OURSE) de l'Université Saint-Joseph. L’étude, accomplie dans le contexte des immenses défis que connaît notre pays, a affirmé le rôle que peuvent jouer les ICC en tant que vecteurs de développement économique et garants de l’identité nationale. Elle a également permis l’élaboration des grandes lignes d’une politique publique en faveur des ICC, un objectif ambitieux qui reste à atteindre. Je tiens à exprimer ma sincère gratitude à Rola Mounla Darwish, directrice du projet et du département des relations externes de l’Institut des Finances Basil Fuleihan, pour ses commentaires perspicaces, son suivi quotidien méticuleux et sa gestion minutieuse malgré tous les obstacles rencontrés au cours du projet.

  • Special Report: Jewelry
    SPECIAL REPORT: JEWELRY Translating Violence into Beauty By NAZANIN LANKARANI Published: December 9, 2009 Selim Mouzannar and Ranya Sarakbi had barely set up their stand at the Vendôme Luxury trade show in Paris in October before buyers started picking over the pieces. Mr. Mouzannar and Ms. Sarakbi, jewelry designers from Beirut, were showing here for the first time, introducing fresh, high-quality collections that combined very limited series with one-of-a-kind creations. Reactions to their work, shown in the Park Hyatt Hotel on Rue de la Paix, around the corner from the Place Vendôme, heart of the Paris Haute Joaillerie world, was encouraging, to say the least. “This is the first year we are showing our collection outside of Lebanon. The response has been extraordinary. We are amazed,” Mr. Mouzannar said. “Selim and Ranya are part of a new generation of Lebanese artists that has focused attention on the creativity emanating from Lebanon,” said Laure d’Hauteville, a French art fair organizer and consultant based in Abu Dhabi. Born in Beirut, Ms. Sarakbi and Mr. Mouzannar are both children of displacement and war who have joined forces to export their talents. Their business partnership is based on a shared desire to expand internationally beyond their Lebanese base. If not for the bombings of Beirut during the 33-day siege in the summer of 2006 by Israeli forces, neither one might have thought about establishing a presence outside Lebanon. “Life was normal. Suddenly, overnight, it became hell. We were hostages in our own land. The zones that were leveled were just a few miles away, and we could not move.
