Hello, I'm Rita ! 🇱🇧
I was born in Ontario, Canada and raised by Lebanese immigrant parents.
My initial interest in fashion came from watching Lebanese television at a young age. I remember admiring musical stars like Haifa Wehbe and Najwa Karam in sparkly gowns and big jewels. As I grew older I developed a love for vintage clothing and the feminine styles of the 1950s. These elements of glamour, femininity, and vintage style have translated into my design aesthetic as a designer today.
In 2019, I graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology with a BFA in Fashion Design and a specialization in Eveningwear and Bridal. As an FIT graduate, I've had the privilege to dip my toes into many opportunities. I have interned for Vera Wang, worked on Madison Avenue in a luxury bridal salon, and became the assistant designer at Cristina Ottaviano after my senior internship program. Each opportunity has helped shape the designer I am today. I look forward to collaborating and sharing my passion for feminine, vintage inspired fashion.
