(BEIRUT, LEBANON) — A Lebanese fashion designer received a career boost of a lifetime on Thursday when Jennifer Lopez wore one of his costumes during her World Cup performance. 27-year old Charbel Zoe designed the Brazilian-inspired costume, which will arguably become a career-defining moment for the up-and-coming designer.
Zoe was born and raised in Lebanon, but later traveled to France to study at prestigious fashion school, ESMOD Paris. Zoe started his career working for Givenchy and Elie Saab, until he began receiving a flood of attention after his designs were featured at major runway shows in Miami and Dubai.
Zoe has built a distinguished worldwide brand, utilizing glitzy styles and Swarovski bodysuits. Haifa Wehbe has worn some of Zoe’s creations in the past.
Jennifer Lopez sang “We Are One” at Sao Paulo’s Itaquerao Stadium, alongside Pitbull,Claudia Leitte and Brazilian band Olodum.
