“I am Assaad Awad or what my good name suggests in Lebanese, I am the happiest person on earth…This all happened knowing that I grew up in the same school that Khalil Gibran attended. FANCY! My craft with letters was not my best but my relentless outlook for newness in the world and my eye for every detail around make me love this world even more than I should, on a constant creation process, I create Extraordinary Fashion & Accessories for extraordinary people (Lady Gaga, Ma donna, Thierry Mugler, Mario Testino, Nicola Formichetti, Rebeka Brown….) I am passionate about everything I design. PERIOD.”
