Early Years
Georges Chakra began his foray into the world of design not studying fashion, but interiors. After two years of his initial study, he hightailed it to Canada to finish his schooling at the Canadian Fashion Academy, and in 1985 at 22 years old, he returned to his home country Lebanon, where he opened his first shop.
From his own admission, he sold to a select number of clients, but his work flourished nonetheless. He also considers his biggest career turning point the day he heard news that his work will be prominently featured in one of fashion's most beloved movies of all time: The Devil Wears Prada, a mere 20 years into his career.
What started as a customized workshop for local and regional clientele has grown into an international haute couture fashion house, having dressed the likes of Rihanna, Beyoncé, Tyra Banks, Jennifer Lopez, Helen Mirren and more.
Georges Chakra regularly features and receives editorial coverage in major fashion magazines such as InStyle, Harper's Bazaar, Vanity Fair, Elle, Madame Figaro, Gala and Genlux.
TV/Film
Aside from his creations appearing in the 2006 movie The Devil Wears Prada, featuring Meryl Streep, Georges Chakra's work has also been featured in the television series Gossip Girl featuring Blake Lively and Leighton Meester.
