Designer Profile: Reem Acra

I got the fantastic opportunity to meet notable fashion designer Reem Acra last weekend. Reem was born in the middle east and has an immaculate eye for European fashion. She got her first big break when she cut up her mothers finest tablecloth into a dress which then got noticed by a fashion editor at a party and the editor pushed her to attend FIT. She then became an exchange student in Paris, while studying abroad she had a high profile socialite friend who asked her to design her wedding dress. The dress got rants and raves reviews and in a split second Reem joined the bridal industry. Ms. Acra also designs RTW with a European flavor which is feminine and sophisticated. She is now one of my favorite designers and it was a pleasure to meet her.
