Fall 2020 Haute Couture: Rabih Kayrouz’s Process

Rabih Kayrouz showcases the process of making a couture dress made of woven ribbons— from a sketch in the designer’s base in Beirut at 320 Rue Gouraud to its creation at his Paris atelier at 38 Boulevard Raspail.

The designer collaborated with film director Nasri Sayegh for the film, entitled “320/38,” in reference to the two addresses. It starts out with images of Beirut — trees swaying in front of apartment buildings — and closes with a model twirling around in the bright orange dress in an empty Paris workshop.
