Lebanese designer Rani Zakhem’s fall-winter 2015-2016 collection was created with the fashion-conscious women in mind. Simple yet elegant, the timeless designs are glamorous and luxurious.

Zakhem’s collection, which he showcased Saturday at Rome’s Palazzo delle Esposizioni, featured contemporary silhouettes rendered luxurious through the use of embellishments and detailing.

The designer played with fabrics and textures, and relied heavily on sheer paneling. Black, red and nude were the winter collection’s three dominant colors.

Zakhem’s latest frocks are effortlessly chic as he strives to provide the modern woman with smart and sophisticated looks that celebrate and accentuate their bodies.

His creations cater to feminine, elegant, modern silhouettes with superior savoir faire. The luxurious fabrics evoke a sense of glamour and understated elegance.

Born in Lebanon and raised in Kenya, Rani Zakhem says he draws inspiration from the aesthetics of his surroundings. A faithful Vogue and Vanity Fair reader, Zakhem has always sought a career in design and fashion.

In 1992, the young designer moved back to Lebanon to pursue his education, and in 2005 he earned a bachelor’s of science in interior design from the Lebanese American University. He then got accepted at New York’s prestigious Parsons School of Design, where he earned a degree in fashion design.

Before launching his own brand, Zakhem worked with big names such as Yigal Azrouel, Carlos Miele, Patricia Underwood and Zuhair Murad to name a few. In 2009, he decided to venture out with his own eponymous label. Since then, the Rani Zakhem brand has diversified into several lines to include ready to wear, couture and exquisite bridal gowns.
