Fashion Shows in Paris and Moscow, presentations in New York and Milan, events in Beirut, Dubai and Sao Paulo, red carpets in Los Angeles and Singapore… this is the journey of the Tony Ward dresses. And it doesn't stop here.

Beirut is where all the magic is initiated. Exceptional fabrics come from Italy, France and Switzerland before the tailors, petites mains, and embroiderers, trained by Tony and Elie Ward, frantically transform them into beautiful garments. With more than 60 years of experience in couture, the team’s professionalism, know-how and talent are the essential elements which make for these dresses extraordinary craftsmanship.

Paris is the city where Tony Ward studied, at the Chambre Syndicale de la couture Parisienne; it is where he learned, for eight years, the secrets of couture from the best Masters there was. He started working at Lanvin with Claude Montana, then at Dior with Gianfranco Ferré and at Chloé with Karl Lagerfeld. Seventeen years later, he returned to Paris for his first fashion show in the capital at Hotel Salomon de Rothschild.

Italy is very dear to the designer’s heart. Being half Italian encouraged him to host his first fashion shows in Rome and Milan. It is also where he was elected Fashion Designer of the Year 2005 at the prestigious L’Ago D’Oro (Golden Needle) Awards.

Los Angeles is the destination for the collections most outstanding dresses, straight off the runway, where they can reach major Red Carpet events. On the other side, the bustling city of New York offers its own world-class events organized by top of the line partners such as Kleinfeld Bridal.

Tony Ward’s timeless designs seduce a vast clientele from all around the world. While the Beirut and Moscow flagship stores exhibit the complete couture and ready to wear collections, prestigious multibrand stores in Italy, Spain, USA, Singapore, Hong Kong and more than 40 other cities in the world carry the brand alongside their luxury ready to wear curated selections.

With M·A·C CosmeticsSenior Make-up Artist PABLO RODRIGUEZ

Q: How does a fashion week day look like for you?

A: They are very long days with early starts. We get picked up at five or six am, going from one show to another. At the end of the day you might have a make-up test for another upcoming show. It is hectic, but fun.

Q: What is the most challenging part of creating a make-up look for a fashion show?

A: It is like a puzzle. It has to fit with the designer’s vision, but also with the hair, the models, etc. If you move one of those pieces, you may need to move all the other pieces too.

Q: What inspired you to create the make-up for the latest Tony Ward fashion show? How did you come up with a specific design for every space? If a woman wants to have the same look, what are the essentials she needs to have in her make-up kit?

A: It was a mix of Tony’s theme for the collection, with the colour palette for the dresses. It was all done with pastels and black. It was very romantic, but with a sharp edge. To create the same captivating yet soft smoky eyes look of the show, you need all the black basics, like black eye liner, mascara and false eyelashes. But also an aqua green eye shadow as a base all over the eyelid, and a peach nude lip gloss.

Q: Can you share with us a make-up secret that you use on the catwalk and that could transform a woman's daily beauty ritual?

A: There are many tricks that are subtle but make a difference: "Always curl lashes and brush eyebrows up, exfoliate your skin regularly including the lips, match up the foundation to the body, so it looks like a uniform colour.”

abstract Roses

The multiple representations of roses in abstract paintings were the inspiration behind the Tony Ward Bridal 2016 Collection. The construction found in nature’s wonders and its endless shapes and figures fed the couturier’s imagination and led him to create a collection where rich fabric and shimmery splashes of embroidery add a royal touch to the intertwining and graphical natural forms. A number of independent elements have come together to create these well-proportioned and sophisticated looks. Subsequently, romantic ball gowns designed for majestic entrances with draped bodices and full tulle skirts finished with scalloped hems reside side by side with deep-V necklines that follow the lines of the body to produce a 'molded' effect. Tightly fitted bodices emphasize the midriff where floral embellishments add flavor, texture, and individuality to the simple, structured forms. Richly embroidered strapless bodices and slim A-line skirts give a three-dimensional feel with a decidedly modern edge.

The designer buche imagined by Tony Ward for Fleur de Lys, gourmet caterer, was launched during an event at the Tony Ward headquarters in December 2014. From the very first collaboration between Tony Ward and Michel Ferneini, a project is born titled «A Taste for Goodness» supporting Libami, a charity organization that helps underprivileged children gain access to education.

To create the ultra-stylized gourmet fashion dessert, Tony Ward drew his inspiration from the 3D geometric shapes often seen in his couture creations. Celebrity Chef Charles Azar developed this one-of-a-kind, deliciously refined concoction.

A collaboration between Tony Ward and the architecture and design studio White sur White gave birth to one-of-a-kind metallic accessories. Inspired from the geometry of the Tony Ward Couture gowns and the metal structures of White sur White fractal lights, this line of modular accessories are fashion-forward items initially developed to celebrate the launch of the very first issue of FORWARD.

Lebanese filmmaker Ely Dagher has taken the top prize in the short film category at Cannes Film Festival, with his “Waves 98” being awarded a Palme d’Or on May 24th 2015. The director, who divides his time between Beirut and Brussels, beat out more than 4,500 other filmmakers for the award. Dagher’s “Waves 98” explores the filmmaker’s current relationship with his homeland, told through the story of a teenager who has become disillusioned with his life in the segregated suburbs of Beirut until an unusual discovery lures him into the depths of the city. Immersed into a world that is so close yet so isolated from his reality, he finds himself struggling to keep his attachments, his sense of home...
