Nasr received her Bachelor’s in fashion design in Lebanon and continued on to receive her Master’s in Italy. She has also worked in Paris at the Valentino Maison de Couture. 

Her designs focus on color, fabrics, and embroidery, “My designs are rich in colors; I always work with new cuts and new fabrics,” Nasr said. “As for embroidery, I love to combine luxury goods with chains and copper to create that fancy twist. I combined the Swarovski ropes in my designs with a macrame touch.” 

Her favorite piece in her collection is her rope dress, “ I was inspired by events in my own life,” Nasr said. “It’s crazy how life is complicated and beautiful at the same time. I used the Swarovski rope which is sparking and made the loops entangled where a move in one will affect the other much like my story.”

Nasr’s process in designing comes from confidence and pure love for the craft and her clients. 

“The most unforgettable wedding dress I’ve ever designed is the bridal dress of the daughter of the minister of Congo. It was like a fairytale dress,” Nasr said, “The corset was fully embroidered with handmade flowers and Swarovski, with a 32 ft long train fully embroidered with the most romantic veil with handmade flowers along the entire train.

Nasr has designed many wedding dresses and encourages new clients to meet her in her showroom located at 1092 Steele St in Denver.
