CSB Beyond the Studio: Fashion Practice & Professional Growth Masterclasses.

Creative Space Beirut is opening its doors.
Together with GIZ, we’re launching a free professional development program for fashion designers and fashion-adjacent creatives seeking employment and looking to strengthen their practice, build new skills and navigate their next steps in the industry.
Participants will complete 35+ hours of training, beginning with a common foundation before moving into a specialist pathway based on their experience, goals and skills gaps.

Participants will explore four areas:
-Production & Technical Readiness.
-Commercial & Market Readiness.
-Industry & Workplace Readiness.
-Career & Opportunity Readiness.

Digital practice will run throughout, from CAD and AI to digital storytelling, market research, professional communication and career tools. Selected modules may also bring participants into contact with active industry practitioners through workshops, briefs, critiques and case studies.

Participants will receive career and job placement support as they navigate opportunities beyond the program.
Open to fashion designers and creatives in the fashion industry seeking employment, aged 20–35 with prior training or work experience wanting to strengthen their skills and expand their capabilities. Applicants can tell us what they’re interested in, with final pathways assigned according to experience, goals, skills gaps and program capacity.

Running in phases from approximately October 2026 to April 2027, primarily in Beirut, with selected online and hybrid sessions.

To design for IF Boutique is to enter a conversation already decades in the making. As part of CSB’s Advancement and Employability Program, seven selected CSB alumni were invited to propose individual capsule collections for one of Beirut’s most distinctive fashion spaces.
On Wednesday, July 8, seven CSB alumni, Iftikhar Kanawati, Jihan Azzam, Patile Tachjian, Mostafa Al Sous, Amir Al Kasm, Hazem Kais, and Joe Koueik, presented their proposals to a jury comprising IF Boutique’s Johnny Farah, Soha Farah, and Patil Tchivian.

Each proposal was conceived specifically for IF, taking into consideration the boutique’s identity, clientele, creative direction, market positioning, branding, and commercial viability.

Three designers will be selected to further develop their collections with CSB’s support. Their final capsules will be unveiled at an event at IF Boutique in October 2026.

Stay tuned as we announce the three selected designers and follow their journeys.

✨First Year Jury Day

We’re so proud of our first-year students, who on Friday, July 10, presented the collections they’d spent the past semester developing to a panel of creatives, industry professionals and CSB alumni. The panel included Moe Rida, Yasmina Hilal, Ahmed Amer, Hazem Kais, and Eric Ritter.
Each student walked the jury through their research, sketches, and textile experiments, developing more than fifty designs before narrowing their collection down to two executed looks,which they presented while explaining the thinking and decisions behind each one.
It was their first time presenting to a jury, a skill they’ll continue developing throughout their three years at CSB. Jury Day is one of the most demanding moments of the year, but also one of the most rewarding, marking the end of a challenging and formative Foundations year.
Thank you to our incredible jury for the time, insight, and generosity you brought to the table.

Swipe through for a closer look at the day, and stay tuned as we share the students’ final designs. 💥

In June 2025, Mostafa El Sous graduated from CSB. On June 19, 2026, he presented Our Families Between the Lines, the debut fashion show for his brand, ATHR.

Rooted in community, healing, and storytelling, ATHR brought together clothing, memory, and human connection in a show that felt intimate, vibrant, and profound. The collection and designs carried a strong sense of narrative while remaining wearable and grounded, reflecting a thoughtful approach to fashion as a vehicle for storytelling.

What made the evening feel particularly meaningful was the way it came to life. It was clear that Our Families Between the Lines was a true community effort, shaped by the care, generosity, and contributions of friends, collaborators, creatives, and supporters who helped transform a vision into reality.

We are incredibly proud to see our alumni building practices that extend beyond fashion alone. We love seeing ecosystems come alive: people supporting one another, sharing knowledge, creating opportunities, and growing together. Moments like these remind us of what becomes possible when community sits at the heart of creative work.

Congratulations to Mostafa and the ATHR team on a beautiful debut show. We can’t wait to see what comes next. ✨

Second Year Jury Day ✨
Focused on craftsmanship, our second-year students spent the year developing collections that translate personal inspirations, research, and experimentation into a capsule collection.
The final jury of the year for second year students took place on Monday June 15th. Models presented the collection to a panel of industry professionals, allowing the students to share the inspiration, concepts, processes, techniques, and decisions behind their work. Beyond showcasing their garments, the experience challenges students to articulate their ideas, defend their creative choices, and engage in critical dialogue about their practice.
Through constructive feedback and discussion, Jury Day serves as an important learning opportunity, helping students refine their work, strengthen their presentation skills, and prepare for the professional realities of the fashion industry.
A heartfelt thank you to our jury members for sharing their time, expertise, and valuable insights with our students. 🖤

Bespoke Wedding Dresses - Amir Al Kasm
Alumni Amir Al Kasm created Yasmina Yehia’s wedding dress and a bespoke evening look for the mother of the bride.
For ‘s dress, Amir transformed and reimagined her mother’s original wedding gown, carefully deconstructing and reshaping it into a new silhouette while preserving as much of the original fabric as possible and seamlessly integrating new material. He meticulously continued the original embroidery by hand, matching the threadwork and beadwork techniques to honour every detail, while introducing contemporary interventions, such as soft ruching through the bust, to add texture, structure, and a renewed silhouette.
For her mother’s evening look, Amir designed a custom dress inspired by jasmine flowers, a nod to Yasmina’s name, featuring delicate hand-beaded embroidery with gold leaves and silver blossoms. A soft, fluid silhouette, layered fabrics, and a draped lace back added elegance and movement.

Le Salon Vol. 8 x Liza Beirut

curates a series of events that bring together diverse cultural actors through shared experiences. This edition was dedicated to celebrating process, experimentation, and everything that happens before a piece is complete.
For CSB students Miled Chahla, Salem Sleiman, and Ahmad El Hage, it was an opportunity to share the thinking, making, testing, and refining behind their creations.
A valuable chance to open up their creative process, present their practice in dialogue with a wider artistic community, and offer a glimpse into the research, experimentation, and development that shape their work at CSB.
Thank you to everyone who came through to engage, connect, and celebrate the beauty of what happens in the making. ✨🖤
