Specializing in detail-oriented treatments, draping, and garment construction, Amir Al Kasm has built a strong reputation as a pattern maker and couture specialist. Following his graduation from Creative Space Beirut, he spent four years at the atelier of renowned Lebanese-Armenian designer Krikor Jabotian, where he worked extensively on couture eveningwear and bridal collections. His role evolved to include leading draping sessions, developing complex patterns, exploring garment structure and volume, and overseeing client fittings, contributing to the creation of sculptural silhouettes and highly detailed couture pieces.
Alongside his couture experience, Amir worked as a pattern maker for fellow Creative Space Beirut alumnus Roni Helou, developing patterns for ready-to-wear collections and collaborating on experimental silhouettes rooted in sustainable design practices. His technical expertise spans pattern development, draping, garment structuring, and client fittings, allowing him to bridge creative concepts with precise execution.
At Creative Space Beirut, Amir has led several upcycling and design projects, including collaborations with French brand Kilometre Paris and Archive by Piaff. He has also developed special-edition pieces for the CSB brand while continuing to build his own label and collections, available through the school's boutique and online platform.
In 2023, Amir received the Fashion Trust Arabia Eveningwear Award, recognizing his talent and growing contribution to the regional fashion industry. He currently teaches Advanced Creative Draping at Creative Space Beirut while continuing to develop his brand and explore new approaches to couture craftsmanship, structure, and form.
