DUBAI: A handful of models, influencers and industry insiders recently came together to celebrate Lebanese couturier Rami Kadi, whose eponymous fashion house marked its 10th anniversary this week. For the latest updates, follow us on Instagram @arabnews.lifestyle Kadi uploaded a nearly ten-minute-long video on his Instagram account featuring those closest to him sharing sweet and uplifting messages in honor of his brand’s anniversary. Among those who took part in the thoughtful video is Brazilian model Isabeli Fontana, who has worn Kadi’s creations on plenty of red carpet occasions. “Rami Kadi! Happy anniversary, happy 10th anniversary,” Fontana said in the video. Fontana and Kadi have a longstanding relationship. The Lebanese designer has dressed the model on a number of memorable occasions. Who can forget the silk red, sequin-encrusted couture creation she wore to the 2019 Vanity Fair Oscars after-party? And when she’s not wearing one of Kadi’s designs on the red carpet, she can be found turning heads in his creations during his fashion shows, where she is a catwalk fixture. Fontana has walked the runway for Rami Kadi on a number of occasions.

Fontana appeared in the heartfelt clip alongside Lebanese singers Maryam Fares and Haifa Wehbe, Lebanese influencer Lana El-Sahely, Dubai-based fashion star Dima Al-Asadi and reality television star Montana Rose Brown. “Happy, happy 10 year anniversary, Rami,” said “Love Island” star Brown. “I feel so lucky to have worn one of your incredible pieces. It made me feel like a princess,” she added. “To the one who made my dream wedding dress a reality and a true friend,” said Lebanese fashion influencer Alice Abdelaziz, who also took part in the clip. “Rami Kadi, you know how much I adore you.” Abdelaziz tied the knot in 2018 and wore a custom dress by Kadi. “I would like to thank each and every one of you. (It is) such an honor to be working and have worked with you,” Kadi captioned the heartwarming clip. “A beautiful surprise created by my team, nothing more precious than celebrating a milestone with figures who helped achieve this milestone,” he added.
