The Design Process: In the studio with Leen

In the world of luxury fashion, designing a new high-end collection is far more than sketching beautiful silhouettes. It is an intricate journey of inspiration, research, craftsmanship, and refinement. Behind every stylistic moment lies months of development, collaboration, and artistry, a process that transforms creative vision into real-life testimonies to our brand ethos.

At Leen Moughrabi, each collection be it Ramadan or an evening-wear collection, reflects our commitment to slow luxury, cultural storytelling, and precise craftsmanship. 

Inspiration and research is arguably one of the most important stages. It is essential for ensuring the collection feels timeless yet relevant, and aligns with the brand’s unique point of view.

Leen will begin by crafting mood boards, a visual blueprint for the collection. These boards include colour palettes, pattern inspirations, cultural references, and most importantly, sketches. These ensure that everyone involved in the making process understands the collection’s visual DNA.

Sketching will then develop further with Leen exploring the limits of her imagination. Her illustrations with explore volume and drapery. necklines and tailoring, proportions, and movement. In luxury fashion, these sketches are not simply technical drawings, they are artistic expressions that capture mood and personality. 

    Next fabrics will be chosen that echo the reality of the designs. The goal is to choose fabrics that are of a suitably high quality, drape beautifully, endure, photograph well, and elevate the aesthetic of the design.

    At Leen Moughrabi we often custom-dye fabrics, develop exclusive prints to create truly one-of-a-kind materials ensuring the collection is unique down to the very thread.

    The process of creating a luxury-fashion collection is a balance of creativity and technique. From mood boards to fittings, every step is a science and an art. At Leen Moughrabi, this dedication to detail in creating luxury evening wear is what elevates each collection from clothing into wearable storytelling, celebrating heritage, femininity, and modern design.
