Rami Al Ali is a Syrian fashion designer originally from the city of Deir ez Zor, son of architect Ghassan and mother Sameeha, a graduate in Middle Eastern history. His love of refined aesthetics began at an early age, and his interest in fashion and the power of style led him to Damascus, where he joined the Faculty of Fine Arts in 1991 to study Visual Arts. His unorthodox approach stunned professors, and after graduating in 1995, his fashion career in Dubai and Beirut led him to become one of the Middle East’s most prominent designers. Collection after collection, he showcased in Rome in 2009 and was named as one of the top 50 most influential Arabs by The Middle East Magazine. Celebrities like Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, Chanel Iman, Isabeli Fontana, Youssra and Googoosh wore his creations. In 2019, Rami took part in the Syrian non-profit Atassi Foundation exhibition in Dubai, which shed light on the early beginning of the women’s art movement in Syria, emphasizing the immense role female artists played in shaping Syria’s art scene.
