Ingie Chalhoub Knighted ‘Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur’

On 30 January 2018, Ingie Chalhoub, Creative Director of the fashion house INGIE Paris, founded in 2009, was knighted by the honourable Jean-Yves Le Drian, Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs. The investiture was held at the Ministerial reception rooms in the presence of close friends and relatives.

 

This distinction rewards her firm commitment to the diffusion of French luxury in both France and throughout the Middle East.
 
Ingie Chalhoub, Franco-Lebanese designer and founder of INGIE Paris, her ready-to-wear luxury fashion brand, has been presenting her collections at Paris Fashion Week since 2015.

 

Combining Parisian chic with oriental influences, her creations exude elegance and femininity, created for the women of today who want glamour from day to night.
 
Her fashion house is based in Paris where she has her own INGIE Paris studio and relies on the delicate and unparalleled workmanship of French artisans and craftsmen. A profound respect for this great knowledge and skilled workmanship has enabled INGIE Paris to reveal its creations to buyers and to the international press, thus developing a large distribution network. In 2016, she was ranked by FORBES as one of the top 100 most powerful women in the Arab world.
 
INGIE Paris will open its 4th Middle Eastern boutique in the Dubai Mall and will make its debut in the European market with new projects to be announced in Paris and London very soon.
 
“I am truly honoured to receive this high French distinction from the honourable Jean-Yves Le Drian, this decoration marks the realisation of many years of passion, expressed through my work. I will continue to promote, endorse and encourage the French ‘savoir-faire’ and ensure that it continues to shine so brightly for many years to come” Ingie Chalhoub commented.
