The high fashion designer Jamal Taslaq was born in 1970 in Nablus where the osmosis and the cohabitation of cultures and religions are part of the local tradition. At the age of just 10 years he discovers the world of high fashion visiting an atelier close to his childhood home together with his mother, where he is enraptured by the magic of creation while observing simple tissues become wedding dresses and regalia which give grace to the female body. To fascinate him are the working and the precious hand made embroidery which refine and embellish the fabrics following the body lines harmoniously and making it more graceful and female. At the age of just 19 he decides to follow his passion and chooses Italy recognizing it as the cradle of high fashion and home of an ancient culture based on the beauty and the enables craft. For 10 years he studies and gains experience by personally learning the techniques of haute couture and by absorbing the style and the Renaissance and Baroque culture of Florence and Rome. In July 1999 he opens his personal atelier in Via Veneto in the heart of Fellini Dolce Vita, while in 2000 he starts his adventure in the world of high fashion on the catwalks of AltaRoma together with the most acclaimed designers of the moment like Raffaella Curiel, Fausto Sarli, Elie Saab, Furstenberg, Renato Balestra and Zuhair Murad.
