Cocoe had just finished school and got a job in textiles because of my love of fabrics and fashion…I thought it was going to be much more glamorous than it was! I left to take a sales job at a Beverly Hills bridal salon because I had always loved the “gown”, the symbolism of this dress and how much this garment is treasured and sometimes passed down to future generations. Throw away fashion never sat well with me. Even as a little girl, I would repurpose vintage clothes by redesigning them for myself so the idea of being around beautifully made timeless wedding gowns was alluring. Soon, I decided to start my own vision of an L.A. bridal salon on Melrose Ave. with a focus on custom design.

My name is MILAD KHOREIBANI, Design Director at NYES, i was born in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, I relocated to Lebanon as a teen where I resided until moving to the US 8 years ago. I met my partner, Blair Stanley,in Lebanon and together we decided to launch a brand in the US. Experiencing life in diverse cultures, has given me a broad understanding of fashion, decor, architecture, color, visibility and has shaped my love of putting them together the way I see it. I started my education at La Fillere Francophone de Droit at the Lebanese University of Beirut studying Law. But my love of drawing, painting and fashion, compelled me to enroll and eventually graduate from ESMOD ( Ecole Superieur de la mode) with a BA in Fashion Design and Pattern Making. An internship for Maged Bou Tannous, a well established fashion designer of Lebanon, reinforced my love of this art, but what solidified my decision to pursue a career in fashion were the amazing responses I received from Elle Saab and Rabih Kayrouz during my final collection at ESMOD. I find inspiration from many things including current textiles of the season, movies, theater and cultural as well as political movements. My partner and I launched a sportswear brand under his name Blair Stanley, for 6 years and simultaneously were backed to develop a brand for a local production company. Afterwards, i was fortunate enough to work briefly at Marchesa which re-acquainted me with the craft of handmade beadwork and delicate gown design. I joined JS Group as an Assistant Designer for David Meister until the opportunity to be a part of this team launching Flor et.al As far as personal philosophy in regard to designing this brand, I am a part of a team lead by Karin G.. Collectively we develop the mood and aesthetic of the brand. A quote from Alexander McQueen “When I design, I try to sell an image of a woman that au have in mind, a concept that changes dramatically each season”, eloquently sums up my feelings as well.

GEM SEARCH IS THE ONLY VINTAGE FILE FOR ALL VINTAGE FASHION INCLUDING CLOTHING COATS SUITS AND HANDBAGS & ACCESSORIES … Liisa quotes “ I wish more people would realize that vintage is abundant! Don’t be discouraged from shopping vintage by incorrect assumption that thrift stores raise their prices because of shoppers and resellers. It’s just not true. In 2012 alone, 84 percent of all discarded clothing in the Inited States ended up in landfills. That’s unhinged! On the bright side, it proves there’s enough to go around.” See New York City Looks and Hel Looks sites.
