It was in Dubai he started his fashion designing career. Walid Atallah’s star began to rise up through his fascinating designs by mixing the charm of the East with the infancy of the West.

He launched his first fashion show in 1996.Top Lebanese celebrity Najwa Karam and top model Nathalie Fadlallah gave the show a colour of spectacle. The show turned into huge success and has been widely accepted in the region and consecutive fashion shows followed in most of the top spots.Understandably for the guy who caters mostly to the local clientele, his emphasis is on all kinds of fancy embellishments, he's big on crystals.
In one of the interviews in local media he described his design style as "very expensive looking”. I guess, that's one way to put it.
