Launch with the Starch Foundation in Saifi Village

Launch with the Starch Foundation of 6 up-and-coming Lebanese Designers for the third consecutive year

Founded by Rabih Kayrouz, Tala Hajjar and in collaboration with Solidere, STARCH is a non-profit organization that helps launch Lebanese emerging designers.

STARCH is an annual program and a rotation of debut collections where four to six young designers are selected each year. The designers are guided through the process of developing their collections, as well as promoting them (communication, marketing, branding and press). These collections will then be presented for a period of one year at STARCH boutique. 

The designers are all women: Nadine Mneimneh, Emily Cremona, Rana Mikdachi, Racha El Abbas, Margherita Abi Hanna and Najla El Zein
