Tony Ward (Arabic: طوني ورد; born 27 March 1970) is a Lebanese-Italian fashion designer.[1] Named “The Architect of Detail”, he draws his inspiration from contemporary architecture.

Early life

[edit]

Ward was born in Beirut. He is the son of Elie Ward, a couturier. At 18, Ward enrolled in the Ecole de la Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne in Paris, France.[2] He worked with Claude Montana at Lanvin, with Gianfranco Ferré at Dior, and then with Karl Lagerfeld at Chloé,[3] where he studied haute couture before he launched his own brand Tony Ward Couture.

Career

[edit]

After working in Paris, Ward came back to his home country and launched his own couture line in 1997,[4] for which he was awarded 1st prize at the "Société des Artistes et Décorateurs" (SAD) design competition.

In 2013, his collection "Frozen Memories" was presented in Moscow at The Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.[5] The runway used competitors from the Miss Universe 2013 pageant who walked down the runway wearing Tony Ward Couture creations.[6][7][8][9] After ten years of presenting his collections in Rome during Italian Fashion Week, in 2014, Tony Ward started presenting his collections in Paris.[10][11]

Headquarters

[edit]

After celebrating the 60th birthday of the historical Ward Atelier, Ward Couture moved its new headquarters to Hôtel-Dieu Avenue in Beirut, Lebanon.

Museum displays

[edit]

A gown worn by Whitney Houston for The BET Honors in 2010 was part of a temporary exhibit at the Grammy Museum.[12]

A dress worn by Pink at the Grammy Awards was displayed at the Limited/Unlimited exhibition[13] for the AltaRomAltaModa fashion event 2010 in Rome, Italy.
