Despite earning my bachelor's degree in architecture, I have always wanted to

establish my empire. It's fascinating what my certification with regards to design

meant for my manifestations. As a designer of men's clothing, the use of

symmetry and straight lines has really helped me understand and visualise my vision.

will be launched very soon !.

What makes you a good leader fashion stylist for your brand?

What makes my brand distinct is the fact that I'm the designer behind the brand so it's my vision. I don't think I'd be able to hire a designer as the outcome wouldn't necessarily be the same. I do everything from the sketch, threading the bobbin to sewing the label inside the piece. When someone buys a piece from my collection, they're essentially buying a piece of me.

To be on trend with fashion today you must have?

Social media is a huge contributor to how I stay up to date on fashion trends and global runway shows. I bookmark the style section in fashion publications when I feel inspired by a certain quote, new release and story.

What inspires you most in your work?

I'm inspired by straight lines, geometry, and angles because I was formerly an architect. When I start working with a certain fabric, I can imagine the full outfit just by holding the cloth. I'm also inspired by nature, as evidenced by the way I garnish my blazers with stones and gems in the shape of my characteristic scorpion.

Success is what motivates me to do a good job. Knowing the fact that my hard work and perseverance will help me achieve greater professional success is what keeps me going.

Fashion is part of my life that I can not live without , I was raised in the fashion industry between events , fashion shows , celebrities , since my mother have a leading modelling agency and clothing brand back to my country. So I grow up seeing the beauty of this industry and this part of my life did influence me a lot to decide my future career.

How did you get your idea or concept for the business?

the signature scorpion, this is the Eddy Nemri staple. I love my horoscope and I'm a Scorpio, so each piece reflects a piece of me in different ways. The Scorpion symbolizes mystery, uniqueness and customization this is translated through each piece. You'll notice it's never embellished and encrusted the same way - the silhouette is the same, however the stonework is different. This is something that depicts the fact that they're many phases and styles of myself. Those who wear my designs may not know each other, but they recognize each other. And no matter where we are in the world, we are drawn together by a belief in self-expression.

What talent are you most proud of?

Having a creative mind and vision.

What are your career aspirations within the company?

skills. To grow your business, you must keep good records, adopt successful strategies, and

provide excellent customer service. You should expect to devote more time to your business than you might give to an employer, and prepare to make sacrifices.

Take your time and plan out all the necessary steps to succeed.

I’m promoting my business basically through social media , celebrities and events
