Rami al-Ali

Rami Al Ali (Arabic: رامي العلي ‎; born in Deir ez-Zor) is a Syrian-born fashion designer.[1]

Al Ali moved to Damascus and joined the College of Fine Arts in 1991 to study Visual Communications. This led to his experimentation with creative pursuits in subjects such as interior and graphic design. In 1995 Al Ali designed and produced a fashion show for his final graduation presentation.

Al Ali’s next move was to the United Arab Emirates where in 2000 the Rami Al Ali Couture brand was founded.[2]

During the 2006 Asian Games in Qatar, La Mode En Images selected Al Ali to participate along with a number of key international designers and Austrian crystal maker Swarovski, followed by choosing Al Ali to be part of their book Unbridaled alongside couture veterans Giorgio Armani, Vivian Westwood and John Galliano.

In 2009, Al Ali was ranked the 17th most influential Arab in Middle East Magazine.[3] He had his ultimate breakthrough in the same year where his Spring/Summer couture collection was featured in Rome’s AltaRoma Couture Week.[4] It was his first professional engagement with the European Fashion media which was followed by six consecutive shows during this fashion week. In January 2012, Al Ali debuted with his Spring/Summer collection at the Paris Couture Fashion Week, showcasing alongside Elie Saab,[4] Chanel, Valentino, Dior and other fashion connoisseurs.

Couture

Rami Al Ali's launched his first couture collection for AW in 2012 in Paris and it was inspired by Baroque creations, intricate detailing and several visuals that embodied elements from the era, bringing them back to life through the new generation of couture. Al Ali continues to showcase two couture collections annually in the French capital. His latest collection was the Spring Summer 2016 in Paris which was inspired from two contrasting periods: the iconic decorative Moorish artistry and manipulation of the historic accents with masquerade inspired silhouettes.[5]

Prêt-à-Porter

In 2015, Rami Al Ali decided to add a new branch to the brand and launched his first ready to wear collection for Autumn/Winter 2015 followed by Spring/ Summer 2016 which showcased modern silhouettes and elegant styles reflecting a relaxed yet glamorous approach to cocktail evening wear.
