2025 Fashion Show, Exhibition, and Celebration
عرض الأزياء ومعرض واحتفال عام 2025
We Have Arrived, We Are Home highlights the thesis collections of the graduating class of 2025, young designers whose education unfolded during some of the country’s most challenging times. Through uncertainty and disruption, they continued to create, learn, and grow, embedding both personal stories and collective experiences into their work.
The collections will be presented through an immersive, multisensory experience featuring runway presentations and installations that explore the intersection of fashion, storytelling, and space-making.
As Creative Space Beirut’s first show since 2018, the event honors the idea of arrival - into selfhood, into belonging, into collective spirit. In a context marked by instability and crisis, this moment reminds us: home is something we build together, through creativity, persistence, and community.

GRADUATING CLASS OF 2025
دفعة 2025
المتخرجة
Iftikhar Kanawati (Tripoli, Lebanon - age 22) presents Chronic Grief, a collection that navigates the emotional aftermath of losing her mother, using torn fabrics, textured surfaces, and a hand-dyed palette to express numbness, rebellion, and the slow integration of loss into daily life.
Mostafa Al Sous (Saida, Lebanon - age 27) unveils Baw7, a collection that transforms decades of repressed trauma into layered, tactile garments made from bedsheets, silicone, and waxed textures, each piece a step toward articulating long-silenced pain.
Jihan Azzam (Niha, Lebanon - age 26) debuts Vessels, a spiritually rooted collection inspired by the Druze concept of reincarnation, where pleats, cyanotype prints, and layered silhouettes trace the soul’s journey through time, memory, and transformation.
Patile Tachjian (Beirut, Lebanon - age 23) shares Adieu B2079, a deeply personal collection that reconstructs the textures and memories of her childhood home through crochet, beading, and playful silhouettes, offering a tender farewell to a space filled with love and legacy.
