Georges Chakra (Arabic: جورج شقرا) is a Beirut-based Lebanese haute couture fashion designer. Georges Chakra first established his brand in 1985, and he has displayed his cultural collections at Paris Fashion Week since the mid-1990s.
Biography[edit]
Georges Chakra studied interior design at the Canadian Fashion Academy. In 1985, he returned to Lebanon and opened his first store.[citation needed]

Chakra has been featured in major fashion magazines In Style, Harper's Bazaar, Vanity Fair, Elle, Madame Figaro, Gala, and GenIux.[citation needed]
