“I will start healing the day my city starts healing,” designer Rabih Kayrouz tells @gilleskhoury in this weekend's issue. Kayrouz was in his atelier in the Beirut neighbourhood of Gemmayze when last August's explosion tore through the city. "Within a split second, the business that Kayrouz had been growing over the past 20 years was devastated; he was also severely wounded," writes @gilleskhoury. "For someone like Kayrouz, who is so entrenched in this city, it’s clear that it will take much longer to start recovering from the trauma. But despite everything, the designer’s atelier has been rebuilt, and he has created temporary solutions for the Lebanese arm of his business."
