RENAISSANCE RENAISSANCE for Women

Founded in 2016 by third-generation couturier Cynthia Merhej, Renaissance Renaissance blends timeless craftsmanship with modern sensibilities. Rooted in her Beirut heritage and shaped by studies at Central Saint Martins and the Royal College of Art, Merhej’s designs bridge cultures, generations, and eras. Operating between Paris and Beirut, the brand works closely with Lebanese artisans and family-owned factories to create sustainable, high-quality occasionwear. Known for ruched ensembles, tulle skirts, and sculptural silhouettes, Renaissance Renaissance celebrates duality—balancing poetic and austere, feminine and masculine. Accolades include LVMH Prize and Fashion Trust Arabia nominations, alongside costume design for Bonjour Tristesse starring Chloë Sevigny.
