Jean-Charles Zakaria’s childhood obsession with fabrics, patterns, and textures propelled his interest and taste for fashion, allowing him to showcase his creativity from an early age. Pursuing his dream of becoming a fashion designer, he launched his first Haute couture collection, “Re-belle,” at just 18 years old. This milestone marked a significant achievement, leading to a successful fashion show and earning him recognition as one of the most talented young designers. In 2013, he was nominated as ‘the smallest fashion designer in the Arab world.’
Zakaria’s passion for fashion fueled his desire to learn more, prompting him to undertake a fashion design internship at the prestigious London Fashion School. This challenging experience helped him grow in his career and solidified his belief in himself. Following his instinct, he began building his own fashion brand, creating multiple collections that showcased his evolving creativity.
His latest creation, “Vitality,” is particularly close to his heart and has been a resounding success, cementing his place in the Middle Eastern fashion industry. Zakaria’s atelier serves as a space where he finds inspiration and follows his dreams.
Jean-Charles Zakaria advises aspiring designers: “My biggest piece of advice is to spend time really knowing who you are and then, choosing a piece of outfit that suits you accordingly.”
