The Designer

Reem Acra

I · Beirut

Beirut

Raised in Beirut, Reem learned to touch fabrics, discover color and trust her instincts in the souks of her childhood.

Her first fashion show was at the American University of Beirut.

II · New York

A New Yorker since 1983, she built her house and atelier in Manhattan, where every piece is still made to order.

501 Fifth Avenue, 2nd Floor.

III · The Craft

Embroidery, hand beading and couture finishing, carried out in the atelier from the first toile to the last stitch.

Every Reem Acra piece is made to order in New York.

“There is nothing as valuable in this world as the ability to dream. To dream is to strive for better — in yourself and in the world.”
