Galia Lahav is a fashion label established in 1984 in Tel Aviv, Israel.[1] It was founded by fashion designer Galia Lahav. The brand is primarily known for its bridal and evening wear.[2] In January 2017, it became the first Israeli brand to be accepted by the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture and to present in Paris Fashion Week. As of 2019, the brand is represented by 70 stores across 40 countries.[3] [4] Singer Beyoncé wore a Galia Lahav bridal gown to renew her vows.[5]
Galia Lahav was born in Pinsk, Belarus in 1948.[6] Lahav emigrated with her family to Israel in 1957, and grew up in southern Israel, in the city of Ashkelon. She taught crafts at a public school in Ashdod, until beginning to dedicate herself to a fashion business full-time at the age of 36, after giving birth to her youngest child.[7] In 2005, after operating for more than 2 decades in the Israeli market, Galia's youngest son, Idan Lahav, had joined the company as the CEO and helped expand the company's operations to the international market. In a Forbes interview,[8] Lahav shared how technology and data-driven approach has helped the brand penetrate the global arena. "Galia Lahav continues to look to the paradoxes of the connected consumer to guide its data-driven, creative-centric approach, forging innovative inroads deeper into the ever-expanding social worlds of the most demanding (and fashionable) of all connected consumers."
