Appolo Fadous
[edit]Appolo Fadous is a Lebanese fashion designer, with a showroom in Jbeil and a workshop in Batroun, Lebanon.
Early Life July 16, 1969 was a historical day for the world, and a fortuitous day for the Fadous family. The Apollo 11 lunar mission launched from Cape Kennedy, Florida with three astronauts headed for the moon while the Fadous family gathered to welcome their eleventh child in the world, a young son whom they appropriately named Appolo.
Career From a very young age, Appolo was interested in design. Growing up with seven sisters, he had many a muse—designing dresses for weekend social parties and family affairs.
Upon graduation from technical school, Appolo moved to Paris where he learned the techniques of drawing fashion dresses, selling sketches to well known dressmakers. He received his certificate of design from Centre de Formation & Conseil de la Mode (CFCM) in 1993.
After Paris, Appolo returned to Lebanon and worked with various prominent designers plus offered individually designed clothes before finally opening his own couture house - Appolo Fashion – specializing in bridal dresses and eveningwear. In 2007, he presented his first collection of dresses made from luxury fabrics such as chiffon, velvet, satin and silk.
Today, Appolo Fashion dresses are sold worldwide; however, being based in Lebanon means that naturally a greater focus is placed on the Beirut and Dubai markets. Over 7,000 brides have chosen dresses by Appolo for their special day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Think Online (talk • contribs) 09:16, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
