Nader went to Paris, the capital of the haute couture and fashion world, to pursue his studies in fashion design. He was accepted into the prestigious Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture, where he became one of the first successful Lebanese fashion designers in France.[1] Nader was chosen by designer Yves Saint Laurent to train in his fashion house.

Nader dresses a number of princesses, first ladies, movie stars, and beauty queens. He has been called the "king of Middle Eastern haute couture".[1][2][3]

gollark: Quite a lot of the time people try and get degrees not because they actually need to know something important about the subject, but because they won't be taken seriously/hired without one, which is bad.
gollark: Well, they cost a massive amount for some bizarre reason, and if you just subsidize it people will come out with degrees but it will also be a massive money pit.
