Georges Chakra is a Beirut-based Lebanese haute couture fashion designer. Georges Chakra first established his brand in 1985, and he's been showing his couture collections at Paris Fashion Week since the mid-1990s.

Early years

Georges Chakra began by interiors.[citation needed] 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.[citation needed]

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.[1]

What started as a customized workshop for local and regional clientele has grown into an international haute couture fashion house, having dressed Rihanna,[2] Beyoncé,[3] Tyra Banks,[4] Jennifer Lopez,[5] and Helen Mirren.

Chakra had featured in major fashion magazines InStyle, Harper's Bazaar, Vanity Fair, Elle, Madame Figaro, Gala and Genlux.[citation needed]

TV and 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.[citation needed]
