Moulham Obid was born in Massiaf, Syria, in 1990. He began his artistic journey studying Visual Communication at the University of Aleppo, where he earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2012.
In 2014, he relocated to Vienna, Austria, to pursue his passion for fashion design at the esteemed Herbststrasse Fashion School. He graduated with the collection “Phi”, a concept-driven exploration of harmonic proportions, which earned him the DIVA Austrian Fashion Talent Award in 2017.
His next collection, “Gaia”, a tribute to nature’s organic forms, was awarded the Austrian Fashion Association (AFA) Start-Up Scholarship in 2018. The AFA continued its support in 2019, sponsoring his third major work, “Pollution”, which premiered at Vienna Fashion Week 2020.
In addition to his fashion accolades, Obid was invited to present his installation project “Master TIMELESS Material” at the Rado Star Prize Austria 2019, hosted at the Rado Boutique in Vienna. His work has also been featured in the Kunst Festival Millstatt in both 2019 and 2020.
Select pieces from his collections are available in curated fashion pop-up stores that support and promote emerging Austrian design talent.
Atelier
His designs reflect a dialogue between architectural structure and romantic softness, revealing the wearer’s desire to embody strength, elegance, and imaginative femininity—all while framing her unique character and personal style.
Design Philosophy
Moulham Obid’s couture collections are defined by intricate, hand-crafted creations brought to life through hundreds of hours of meticulous work. With elaborate pattern-making, sculptural draping, and refined pleating techniques, he captures a vision of modern femininity that celebrates and enhances each client’s individuality.
Obid’s aesthetic is the epitome of sophisticated extravagance. He masterfully blends diverse materials to sculpt striking contemporary silhouettes with a distinctly feminine essence. His signature approach includes cascading sheer tulle, flowing silk, and delicately hand-embroidered details, all composed with an artist’s eye for proportion, texture, and movement.
Each piece begins as an artistic vision, often inspired by natural forms and poetic contrasts, and is then transformed—through precise craftsmanship—into a garment that is both statement and sculpture. Obid’s couture is a celebration of volume, detail, and modern elegance, resulting in timeless creations that resonate deeply with the individuality of those who wear them.
