The founder of Renaissance Renaissance hasn’t had an easy journey, but in her eyes, fashion is a form of renewal.Cynthia Merhej’s brand Renaissance Renaissance is all about rebirth. When Merhej started the label from her home city of Lebanon in 2016, the moment was a bit of a renaissance for the designer herself.
“I recently realized this character I created is the woman I want to be,” Merhej says of her imaginary muse. “It’s the side of myself I repressed for a very longtime.” Growing up in Lebanon during the final years of the country’s civil war, Merhej didn’t always feel she had the ability to act with complete freedom. “As a child, you’re experiencing trauma, but it’s a secondhand trauma,” Merhej recalls.
