Nemer Saade
Adjunct faculty member
Nemer Saadé is a Lebanese fashion designer and founder of the eponymous fashion house, whose work has developed a distinctive design language through the exploration of tailoring, proportion, construction, and the relationship between garment and body.
The Nemer Saadé brand approaches fashion as an evolving dialogue between heritage and contemporaneity. Its collections investigate classical codes of dress through a modern lens, balancing precision and structure with movement, experimentation, and a strong sensitivity to silhouette. Research plays an integral role in this process, with particular attention given to human evolution and body dynamics across decades and to the ways social, cultural, and physical transformations influence the way garments are conceived and worn.
Throughout its development, the fashion house has built a body of work spanning menswear and womenswear, bespoke design, formalwear, and contemporary RTW. Its practice extends beyond the garment itself into image making, visual storytelling, and the construction of a broader creative identity.
Saadé’s career spans more than two decades, with his work receiving regional and international exposure. He was among the early male designers from the Middle East and Africa to gain visibility through Fashion TV. His professional trajectory has also included recognition connected to the British creative team presenting the 2012 Jubilee Celebrations, as well as a feature by Forbes Middle East in 2024.
Today, Nemer Saadé continues to explore fashion through research, craftsmanship, cultural observation, and the constant reinterpretation of established design codes.
