Rami Al Ali – Home Grown Haute Couture

At The Modern East, we love a home grown success story – especially a fashion one!

Dubai based Rami Al Ali has taken the world of haute couture over the past 20 years and has become internationally renowned for his exquisite designs.

Born in Deir ez-Zor, Syria, Rami’s love of style and detail began at an early age. As the only son of five children, Al Ali took an early interest in fashion, with his curiosity of the arts eventually leading him to Syria’s capital city, Damascus. In 1991, Al Ali joined the College of Fine Arts to study Visual Communications. Inspired by the institute’s freedom of expression, Al Ali’s decision to design and produce a fashion show for his final graduation project astounded his professors, who were impressed at his portrayal of fine arts through fashion.

After graduating in 1995, Rami travelled to the UAE to gain valuable international experience within prestigious fashion houses. He quickly gained respect in the industry, resulting in an immediate, loyal client base, which ultimately led to the creation of the Rami Al Ali label in 2000. His features in a number of inspiring shows around the Gulf led his designs to occupy the covers of leading fashion magazines and red carpet moments.
Rami’s European breakthrough came in 2009, when his Spring/Summer couture collection graced the runway at Rome’s AltaRoma couture week, and was the first of six consecutive shows to take place during this prestigious Fashion Week. His success was further cemented by being named as one of the top 50 most influential Arabs by The Middle East Magazine. Growing in confidence and status, Al Ali’s designs were sought after by celebrities and socialites alike, adorning the likes of Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce to Dame Helen Mirren to name a few.
