Firas Yousif

October 13, 2014,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Firas Yousif is one of my absolute favorite Boston designers. With a focus on evening and bridal wear he’s an incredibly talented artist. Just from looking at his garments you can see the craftsmanship that goes into them, from the intricate beading to the cut and shape of his gowns.

firasyousif4Firas works quite a bit with satin and it never ceases to amaze me how he can make such a difficult material looks so effortless. It’s work that like this that reminds me that fashion isn’t just about clothes, it’s an art form of its own.

A big thank you to Firas Yousif Originals and everyone involved for having me at this event. I look forward to seeing next year’s collection!
