At 6:00 pm this evening, Solidere will launch the Khan Al Joukh event in the Gold Souk, Beirut Souks, which is dedicated to talented young designers and craftspeople. A collective of five residents will be there, and they are: Starched, founded by Rabih Kairuz, helps promote Lebanese emerging designers bringing together 12 Starch alumni; Studio 2, home to 2 Lebanese designers, Stephanie Nehme and Sahar Hafda, working with textiles and paper; Salim Azzam Boutique, for embroidery; BlockSfinj by Chriystel Karam, merging industry and architectural design, and, finally, Creative Space, Sarah Hermez, a free equal opportunity school for fashion design providing creative education to talented ambitious youth who lack the resources needed to pursue a degree at expensive institutions. On the initiative, Solidere’s general manager, Mounir Douaidi, said it seeks to revive and preserve Khan Al Joukh which was part of the old souks in the downtown district before the civil war.
