Future in couture design
Fares Moses aims to redefine haute couture through garments that transcend fleeting trends and celebrate individuality. His mission is to design timeless, exclusive pieces that elegantly merge Middle Eastern heritage with Western modernity, empowering wearers through personal storytelling and craftsmanship. Central to his vision is a dedication to sustainable, cruelty-free practices, sourcing high-quality materials from certified European mills while minimizing environmental impact. Moses sees each creation as "wearable art"—a fusion of cultural elegance, meticulous hand-finishing, and a bespoke consultation process that places the client's narrative at its heart. His goal is to elevate couture into an experience of self-expression, confidence-building, and cultural dialogue, championing slow fashion and timeless elegance.
