Luxurious Couture, Ready-to-Wear & Wedding Dresses | Tony Ward Couture

Made in Lebanon is not just a label. And sometimes it is not a label at all. It is embedded in the stitches in between the fabrics and embellishment shipped from Europe. It is in the soul of each and every gown going out from the Atelier.

September reminds the fashion world of Paris, Milan, London, and New York: cities where the industry’s rhythm peaks with runway shows. But for Tony, the story begins elsewhere: Beirut. His Couture gowns and Ready-to-Wear dresses may travel the globe, but the foundation is Lebanese. it is the essence of his design identity. The heritage he promised to keep.

A City of Contrasts in Fashion

Beirut is a city of juxtapositions. Vibrant yet fragile, chaotic yet deeply poetic. These contrasts echo in Tony Ward’s gowns. The strength of architectural lines meets the softness of fluid fabrics; bold silhouettes carry intricate details coming out from the hands of skilled artisans.

Just as Beirut is all about the modernity with the heritage flair, Tony Ward dresses are shaped on these dualities of steel and the silk, of precision and emotions.

Beirut Ateliers: Craftsmanship Rooted in Place

At the heart of every collection are the Tony Ward Ateliers in Beirut, where hundreds of hours are devoted to hand embroidery, careful draping, precise finishing. Here, savoir-faire thrives, it is passed from one generation of artisans to the next. Just like fom Elie Ward to Tony.

Techniques such as devoré, hand-crochet, and beading are not outsourced; they are nurtured locally. In a world where fashion often speeds past tradition, Beirut anchors the brand in craft and authenticity.

Beirut as Muse: Inspiration by the Sea

Beirut is not only a workspace; it is also a muse for Tony. It inspires him after his travels; it is his constant in a world full of changes.

Tony often speaks about his connection to the sea: The backdrop to the city and a recurring element in his mood boards and collections.

From flowing evening gowns with waves of pastel hues -just like the Mediterranean horizons- his designs carry the rhythm of water. Whenever Tony needs grounding, he returns to Lebanon’s coast, to find clarity in its ‘chaotic’ tides.

From Local Roots to Global Runways

While the brand is headquartered in Beirut, its reach is global from Paris’ boutique, to the Couture Week and the luxury retailers worldwide. Yet the Lebanese identity is never diluted. Instead, it becomes a strength: clients recognize in Tony Ward Couture not just beauty, but authenticity. The detailing is distinctly hand-touched, the silhouettes daringly architectural, and the storytelling rooted in a city that has endured, adapted, and thrived. In so many ways and during so many years.

Beyond Fashion: The Spirit of Lebanon

For the house, Lebanon shapes more than the garments; it shapes the spirit and DNA of the brand. To create in Beirut is to create with an awareness of endurance. Beyond resilience. And that is how Tony Ward views fashion, not as brief spectacle but as something layered with deep meaning. Each Tony Ward evening gown carries the imprint of a city that continues to inspire through struggle and rebirth.

Every Tony Ward dressis a silent ambassador of Lebanon.

When a gown walks down a Paris runway or enters a New York boutique, it carries with it the craftsmanship of Beirut, the vision of its designer, and the narrative of a city that has shaped his identity.

Made in Lebanon is not just a label, it is stitched inside the dress, it is the story woven into every single seam.
