Michael Hakimi, a designer hailing from Manhattan, channels his creative prowess as the designer and director behind the chic and sophisticated evening wear collection, Mikael Aghal. The brand was unveiled in the United States in January 2008, marking a significant milestone in Michael's fashion journey.
Mikael Aghal embodies a blend of chic, sultry, and youthful aesthetics, bringing couture-inspired gowns to life for the modern woman. Crafted from luxurious Italian silks including soft chiffons, charmeuse, silk taffeta, and jacquards, the collection features feminine yet structured cuts tailored for the cosmopolitan and glamorous contemporary woman.
Drawing from his rich experiences, Michael envisioned a new evening wear line that not only surpassed in style and fit but also offered unmatched value. His journey included apprenticing with his uncle at a design shop in Brazil and traversing the globe to procure the finest fabrics while cultivating a diverse sense of style.
Fashion has always been in Michael's blood, with his mother's couture dress business serving as a backdrop to his upbringing. He credits his mother for instilling in him a deep understanding of dressmaking and design. Michael reflects, “My mother imparted to me everything I know about creating dresses. She constantly challenges me to approach my designs with fresh perspectives and innovation.”
