Rabih Kayrouz left his native Lebanon at 16 years old to study fashion in Paris, where he perfected his craft at Dior and Chanel; his first creations debuted in Paris three years later. After a stint in the military, Kayrouz opened Atelier Rabih Kayrouz in 1997 to appeal to a select group of customers who coveted his unique style. More than a decade later, Kayrouz founded Maison Rabih Kayrouz to offer ready-to-wear pieces crafted in France. Today, the collection is renowned for its youthful, artistic style that melds couture with ready-to-wear.
