Couture, made to one body, one occasion. Each gown begins with a private fitting at the atelier and is constructed by hand — embroidery, beadwork, drapery — in the Lebanese tradition.
A study in light. Hand-cut crystal florets and bead-set tulle on a midnight horizon — the latest bridal series, photographed for private viewing at the Dubai and Beirut ateliers.
Seven looks of seventeen. Full collection on appointment.
Eveningwear is offered as a private commission. The atelier draws from the same vocabulary as bridal — embroidery, hand-set crystal, structured silhouettes — translated into colour.
The "Argent" gown — a study in light, in silver. One of several looks in the evening atelier; the full evening register is shown by appointment.
Each evening commission is dressed to occasion: gala, opera, première, or wedding ceremony of state. Fabric is sourced in Lyon, Como and Beirut; embellishment is executed by hand in the Lebanese tradition.
A full evening lookbook is shared in confidence at the atelier visit.
Lamia Abi Nader founded her maison de couture in Beirut in 2002 and presented her first bridal collection there in 2006. The house has since shown internationally in Paris and Italy, and now keeps a second atelier in Dubai's Design District.
The practice is, deliberately, small. Each gown is fitted and finished in the atelier by a tight workroom — the way couture houses have always made bridal: privately, slowly, and to the body of one client.
