Georges Chakra was born and raised in Lebanon. Now that his name is known worldwide, one might assume that Chakra immediately studied fashion, since his skill is so obvious, and especially that it is also known that that he did develop an early interest in fashion. But no, G. Chakra first followed 2 years in the Interior Design field, in Lebanon. Nevertheless, feeling that it was not what he exactly wanted to work in later on, he eventually travelled to Canada, and achieved a Degree in Fashion Design from the “Canadian Fashion Academy”.
In 1985, he came back to Lebanon as a fresh 22 year old graduate, and opened his first couture house. He started working locally, and would never have guessed that his creations would end up being worn by Actresses like Meryl Streep, Helen Mirren, and many others…
Chakra carried on, and in 1994, he was able to launch his brand “ONNA Group”, which is still expanding.
In 2001, G. Chakra exposed his collection abroad, at Paris’s “Haute Couture Fashion Week” .It was a success, and Georges Chakra has been showing his creations there twice a year, ever since.One can also indulge in admiring his creations in the movie titeled:”The Devil Wears Prada”, which was released in 2006, starring Meryl Streep.
