I've seen petite brides carry a ballgown, and I have also seen plus-size women carry a ballgown, though you wouldn't think so.

Every few months, I find myself in Europe or the Middle East.

My brother Max made my desk. It's a masterpiece, like a piano. Everybody who comes in my office loves my desk.

When I took on the title sponsorship of the Western European League and the World Cup Final in October 2010, I did it because I love the sport and I love horses. It has proved to be a perfect match for the Reem Acra brand.

Growing up in Beirut, I used to go to the souks with my mother to buy fabrics... I understood fashion at an early age, and my first designs were when I was five.

Pets are supposedly a great way to meet people.
No one believed me when I said it was possible to put fabric in resin.

I love bags, and little bags within bags. Everything is contained.
fashion luggage stuff though
Though I'm a fashion designer, I never stuff my luggage with too many items.
boring bridal element including love seasons shows unexpected
Too often, bridal shows are boring - I love including a small, unexpected element to make it interesting, like the removable skirts and umbrellas in seasons past.
Yes, there are obstacles as a woman; there is no doubt about it.
call threw
When my mother threw a party, even as a kid, she'd call me in and say, 'Organize it for me.'
drawn gowns love might
Try everything on, even gowns that you don't think you'll love. You might be surprised and fall in love with a gown that you weren't drawn to at first.
Never leave a pen around me - it will be gone.
