Meet Zaid Farouki
Zaid attended American University and majored in Business Administration with a Marketing. Farouki enrolled in art classes and added a Studio Art minor. He applied to the Institute Marangoni in Milan and was accepted. After receiving a degree in Fashion, he moved to London & attended Central Saint Martin, adding specialized courses in couture techniques and embroidery and launching his first atelier in Dubai.

With such a global background being an Arab American as well as being educated in Italian fashion techniques, Farouki found inspiration in the fusion of cultures. Imagining a woman adorned by European clean cuts, true American liberties, and the ever-existent Arab dramatization has helped him create the globally hybrid woman, a representative of a new globalized world and the woman Farouki desires to design for.

Zaid’s pieces are handmade and abide by couture techniques, embroidery, and finishing. Furthermore, all Zaid Farouki prints are hand-painted onto the fabric, so the wearer becomes a walking piece of art.
