He moved to Damascus and joined the College of Fine Arts in 1991 to study Visual Communications. This led to his experimentation with creative pursuits in subjects such as interior and graphic design. In 1995 Al Ali designed and produced a fashion show for his final graduation presentation.
Rami Al Ali’s next move was to the United Arab Emirates where in 2000 the Rami Al Ali Couture brand was founded.[2]
Couture[edit]

Rami Al Ali continues to showcase two couture collections annually in the French capital.
