THE DESIGNER

Coming from a place of passion and experience, Belal is a seasoned fashion designer with a lifelong pulse on the textile industry. Born and raised in Damascus, he was immersed in the world of fashion from a young age, learning the intricacies of bespoke craftsmanship from his father who is a professional tailor and designer. After several years of working in his father’s studio, Belal started his own business, designing and producing high-quality apparel for retailers.
In 2014 Belal moved to Belgium, where he worked as a freelancer in the fashion industry for several years, designing and producing clothing for B2B clients. This, along with his innate passion for affluent design, became the catalyst for Belal to begin his grandeur fashion concept, Levantine. Belal’s designs are fortified with whimsical fashion in mind, and creating timeless pieces that reflect the vision for ecological responsibility. This is demonstrated through the seen and felt quality, the use of high-segment materials, and injecting uniqueness into every creation.
