Why Britney and Nicki can’t get enough of this unknown designer

Celebrities were certainly out to shock their fans at the VMAs last week as many stars arrived in barely-there or naked dresses.

At the VMAs, stars can really show their true self – along with their very-true style.

So it was surprising when both Britney Spears and Nicki Minaj donned the red carpet wearing dresses from a designer that is virtually unknown.

The attention-grabbing, sheer dresses were not the creations of celeb-loved Versace or Givenchy, oh no.

These dresses were by a designer named LaBourjoisie.

Yep, our faces were just as confused as your's right now.

LaBourjoisie is a Lebanese designer label.

Their founder and head-designer, Antoine Salamah, spoke to the New York Post about his first ever red-carpet moment.

"The feeling of watching [Spears and Minaj] was overwhelming," he said. “I felt so proud that they chose to wear dresses from a Lebanese designer.”

LaBourjoisie was founded in 2002 after Antoine studied in Beirut's CAMM Fashion Academy.

His famous followers to date include Mexican pop diva Gloria Trevi and Khloe Kardashion; who stepped out in one of his numbers for boyfriend and Houston Rockets star James Harden’s birthday bash last week.

LaBourjoisie's dress start at a whopping $10,000 (€11,200), so it might be a little over our price range.

Antoine says: “Our customers are fashionistas that love to glow at their events and be the centre of attention.”
