Maher Alami remembers his childhood well; especially the countless weekends spent with mother and grandmother in silks and fabrics salons, tailoring gowns for society weddings. Indeed, his creativity and unparalleled taste were developed over years of lessons from these matriarchs and their dedication to the time-honoured tradition of quality craftsmanship, and the simple rule that every gown make its wearer shine. After graduating from Milan’s prestigious Instituto Marangoni, Maher Alami moved to Toronto Canada where he has lent his talents to several major fashion houses and brand names, finally actualizing his dream through the inception of Alya Couture. With a timeless heritage of artistry fused with modern technique, every woman will always be at her very best, and more.
