Emerging Fervour

I came across Joe Challita not too long ago and couldn’t help but do a write up on him and his creations. They’re just so beautiful!

A law graduate, Challita’s true passion is fashion and so in 2004 he gave it all up to pursue a career in fashion design. In 2007 he graduated from East Sydney College with a fashion degree and has been based in Beirut ever since (he was raised in Australia).

Through his Lebanese heritage and culture, Challita worked with beautiful fabrics to create his Vintage Nouveau style. And taking a chance to follow his Haute Couture dream, Challita appeared on Mission Fashion – a reality TV show based in Beirut with a mission to select a top model and top fashion designer. One thing led to another, and Challita received an invitation to train at the Elie Saab Fashion House in 2007. Challita has been in Beirut since, pursuing his dreams to dress the women of the world!

In 2009 Myleene Klass chose one of his designs to wear on the the red carpet at the classical Brit Awards.

Look!

Beautiful! I’m loving the structured and vintage feel to this dress. Together with Myleene’s side-swept hair and that pinup makeup, the dress is really well complimented. Although, I probably would have gone for some dazzling jewels around my neck, ears and hands to finish off the look and really do it justice.
