Meeting the queen of Arab kitsch
By: Ahmad K Minkara
With kinky underwear and a wild imagination, Rana Salam spent 25 years working as a designer for London’s top brands – now she has returned to Beirut and is making her mark.
Rana Salam is not just a leading Arab graphic designer – she revolutionised the idea of Arab folk and street art.
Rana was born to the pioneer Lebanese architect Assem Salam and Josephine Bisharat from Jerusalem.
Her educational journey started at the International College Beirut, which led her to The Royal College of Art in London, where she engrossed herself in the study of visual and graphic design.
