Georges Hobeika

Georges Hobeika is a Lebanese fashion designer known for his Couture and Ready-to-Wear clothing. He is the founder of the multinational luxury fashion house that bears his name. He operates the fashion label from an atelier headquarters in Beirut, Lebanon, and a showroom located on the Rue Royale in Paris.

Born in Baskinta, a village in the mountains of Lebanon, Hobeika grew up as one of eight siblings. He originally studied civil engineering at university and pursued architectural design during his studies. Due to the Lebanese Civil War, he left the country to secure a better future for himself and his family. He traveled to Paris, where he worked as an intern for several Parisian fashion houses.

After returning from Paris, Hobeika officially opened his first atelier location in Beirut, Lebanon, in 1995. In 2001, he held his first show in Paris. Since then, he has presented his couture collections in Paris for over a decade, participating in every biannual Paris Fashion Week.

Hobeika owns and manages his fashion house, which encompasses four distinct lines: Georges Hobeika Couture, Georges Hobeika Bridal, Georges Hobeika Signature, and GH by Georges Hobeika. In 2010, he opened a showroom in Paris. Over time, the brand has also expanded beyond apparel by diversifying into a décor line featuring couture furnishings and home accessories.

In 2022, Hobeika's son, Jad Hobeika, was unveiled as the Co-Creative Director of the fashion house, collaborating directly with his father. Today, the brand remains headed from Beirut while maintaining its international presence and ongoing presentations in Paris.
