Reem Acra

Reem Acra is a member of the Lebanese couture elite alongside Zuhair Murad and Rani Zakhem, predominantly known for her bridal couture. Originally from Beirut her talent has resulted in her travelling the world. Studying first in the American University of Beirut, she followed on to study at The Fashion Institute of Technology in New York and also at Esmod in Paris. Acra launched her brand in 1997 and after much success established The Reem Acra flagship in Manhattan in 2003. Acra couture is for the modern, sophisticated woman. She was discovered by a fashion editor after she created an exquisite silk organza gown from her Mother’s tablecloth! For Autumn 2014 you can expect to see a lot of variation with rich purples beside slinky silver gowns and simplistic pastels adorned with standout prints. Acra is so versatile you cannot pin her to one genre. You may recognise Reem Acra from the red carpet worn by the likes of Angelina Jolie, BeyoncĂ© Knowles, Catherine Zeta- Jones, Halle Berry and Eva Longoria. Reem Acra bridal and ready to wear can be found at exclusive retailers such as Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue and Harvey Nichols.
