REBIRTH SS25: A Tribute to the Past

With REBIRTH SS25, Abboud delves into Lebanon’s 1960s golden age, an era of vibrant freedom and cultural flourishing. This collection bridges past and present, drawing attention to the urgency of climate change while celebrating the beauty of nature. Water ripples, fishermen’s nets, and the intricate patterns of leaves inspire the collection’s textures and forms, transforming natural elements into wearable art.

At its core, REBIRTH SS25 honors the divine power of women. Each piece is meticulously crafted using artisanal techniques smocking, gathering, and crocheting, keeping centuries-old craftsmanship alive while fostering community collaboration. Rejecting the wastefulness of fast fashion, the collection embraces sustainable practices, reducing environmental impact and advocating for a future where fashion and nature exist in harmony.

Through REBIRTH SS25, Abboud reimagines fashion as both a celebration of heritage and a call to action, a reminder that true beauty lies in preservation, artistry, and the enduring strength of women
