Lara Khoury, the Lebanese designer behind the Lara Khoury fashion brand, talks to me about how she had to truly believe in herself and convince all the critics that she had what it took to be an amazing designer. No matter the obstacles, “the show must go on”, as she says.

Things you don’t see in this video: Lara talks about her studies in France and her very beginnings when she was asked by Rabih Kayrouz to showcase her first pieces to the public in Starch, a showroom for young Lebanese designers.

It’s truly all about seizing opportunities when they present themselves to you.
