Rani Zakhem is able to bring the worlds of interior architecture and fashion design together to create some of the most carefully crafted couture, ready-to-wear, and bridal silhouettes. We talk about the importance of having ready-to-wear for plus size women in the Arab market, a rarity that’s slowly being tackled. But, Rani is the first one to do this with his 2009 ready-to-wear collection. Focusing solely on private clients at the moment, it’s nice to see designers like Rani Zakhem, whose niche is to focus on creating sought-after looks for all women.
