In the world of fashion, Khaled Al Saifi and Marwan Madi’s Maison de Couture tells a story that speaks to the power of believing in one’s dreams. Sharing a deep passion for design, Khaled and Marwan came together to create a brand that celebrates cultural heritage and exceptional craftsmanship.
Together, they formed a fashion house that blends traditional Middle Eastern techniques with modern European design elements. Their creations are more than garments; they enhance a woman’s presence and instill a sense of confidence and assurance during life’s most joyful and festive occasions.
The haute couture collection “Kesh Malek” presents a commanding exploration of silhouette, surface, and structure. The gowns range from sculpted mermaid cuts and regal ball gowns to columnar silhouettes and softly draped A-lines, each designed to elongate and empower the female form. Architectural shoulders, cinched waists, and sweeping trains create a sense of ceremony, while voluminous ruffles, oversized bows, and layered tulle introduce theatrical drama.
The craftsmanship is unmistakable: dense hand-beading, intricate crystal constellations, metallic threadwork, and elaborate appliqué embroidery cascade across bodices and skirts. Baroque motifs, floral arabesques, and geometric embellishments are meticulously placed to contour the body, giving depth and dimension to every movement.
The color palette moves confidently between opulent jewel tones—emerald, sapphire, ruby, and deep onyx—and luminous neutrals such as champagne, blush, ivory, and gold. Metallic finishes and gilded embroidery echo traditional Middle Eastern artisanal techniques, while structured tailoring and refined minimal lines reflect modern European couture sensibilities. This fusion defines the identity of Khaled Al Saifi and Marwan Madi: garments that are not merely worn, but experienced.
Each piece carries a ceremonial presence, designed to elevate a woman’s confidence and amplify her aura at celebratory and formal occasions. The result is a collection that balances heritage and innovation, ornamentation and restraint, power and elegance.
