Arab Fashion Designer of the Year at the EMIGALA Awards
The fifth edition of the EMIGALA Fashion & Beauty Awards, held at the Plaza Terrace of the
Jumeirah Emirates Towers in Dubai, was a celebration of innovation, glamour, and creative
brilliance—and at the heart of it stood Maison Rami Kadi. With the Museum of the Future as a
backdrop and a theme paying tribute to Elvis Presley’s legacy, the event captured the spirit of
modern luxury with a nostalgic twist.
Rami Kadi was awarded “Arab Fashion Designer of the Year”, a prestigious recognition honoring
his visionary contributions to couture and his impact on the global fashion scene. Known for bold design, experimental textures, and a commitment to sustainable innovation, Kadi continues to lead
with creativity and purpose. He dedicated this award to his hometown Lebanon and every
Lebanese woman that inspired him on his journey.
The two-night affair brought together some of fashion’s most influential names. Among the red
carpet highlights, three standout celebrities wore Rami Kadi Couture.
TV personality Deema Al Asadi took the stage in an ice lilac “Chaîne des Danses” off-shoulder
couture gown, embroidered with water sequins in a floral pattern. She presented the award to Rami
Kadi—a full-circle moment, having herself won at EMIGALA two years ago in a Rami Kadi
design.


Entrepreneur Nada Baeshen presented and celebrated creators at the EMIGALA, whilst wearing a sculptural gown from the Rami Kadi “Film Noir” collection—a pearl white knitted creation embroidered with sequins and featuring an open back. Her look echoed Kadi’s vision of modern femininity infused with timeless grace.


Digital creator Yusur Al Khalidi receives the “Star of the Night” award as she turned heads in a rose grey strapless gown, adorned with crystal stones, metal wires, and matte crystals, topped with a dark blue overlapping satin piece—demonstrating Kadi’s signature fusion of innovation and elegance.


The EMIGALA 2025 highlighted Maison Rami Kadi’s role as a pioneer of nouveau couture— where heritage meets innovation and timeless beauty takes center stage.
