I was born in Lebanon but spent much of my childhood growing up in Libya,Republic of Congo (Formerly Zaire) and Gabon. I returned to Lebanon as an adult to

do the official baccalaureate exams with the hope that I would follow in the

footsteps of my father. Later , I decided it might be best to do a general BusinessAdministration degree at the American University of Beirut.

I came to London to complete an MA in Marketing Management specializing inFashion and Luxury brands at the University of Westminster. From there, I was

employed by Capelli NY, a manufacturer of fashion accessories, based in New York,where I became responsible for their mens accessories in the UK. In 2009, I decided

to further my interest in fashion accessories in Milan, where I attended Instituto DiModa, Burgo. I established Mark / Giusti soon after in March 2009 and I am now

launching my 5th collection The Gatsby for SS2013 during Florence Fashion Weekfollowed by Paris Fashion Week.
