Lina Feghali is a famous designer who is specialized in abayas only. She had always dreamed to be a designer of abayas since her childhood but her dream was postponed a little until she graduated from university where she studied hospitals’ management. She gave up her study and followed her childhood dream.

She first opened her gallery in 1987 and named it “Prestige Liban”. She loved only the designing of abayas because women adore it and it shows the beauty and the feminism of women. She says that the materials of textiles differ from a year to a year and so are the colors that also differ from a country to another.

And about her experience with celebrities, Claudia Schiffer is one of her clients and she wore a abaya designed by Lina to attend the wedding of Catherine Zeta Jones and Michal Douglas. Other clients are like Naomi Cambel and winners of beauty pageants from Europe.

Your dream can be very simple but it can lead you to huge success and that what happened with Lina who didn’t give up her dream and just thought that abayas’ designing is stupid like anyone would have thought. The secret is, believing in yourself and persistence. Or what do you think?
