Everyone was waiting for the show to begin, but even before it started, the community had already shown up loud, proud, and ready to support.<\/p>    <p><\/p>    <p>Among the crowd and behind the scenes were some big names in the Lebanese fashion and creative world, including jury members, mentors, and faculty like Angelo Gioe, Fifi Abou Dib, Jad Hobeika, Karine Tawil, Marta Hraoui, Mohamad Abdouni, Rachid Nassif, Roni Helou, Yassmin Saleh, and Youmna Aswad.<\/p>    <div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mark-achkouty-the-powerhouse-behind-the-runway-amp-performance\"><strong>Mark Achkouty: The Powerhouse Behind the Runway &amp; <\/strong>Performance<\/h3>    <p>Let\u2019s talk about Mark Achkouty, because if there\u2019s one thing to celebrate about this show, it\u2019s how ALBA isn\u2019t trying to be a typical fashion school. They\u2019re doing something different. With Mark leading the choreography and performance direction, this wasn\u2019t just a runway. It was storytelling in motion.<\/p>    <p><\/p>    <p>He managed to translate each student\u2019s vision into something <em>alive<\/em>. You didn\u2019t just see the looks, you experienced them. Mark has a way of capturing a moment and making it feel meaningful. Directing models, some likely walking for the first time, is no easy task, but he pulled it off with talent and control. <\/p>    <p><\/p>    <p>Lebanon\u2019s fashion scene could use more of that kind of performance.<\/p>    <p><\/p>   <iframe title=\"Embedded Instagram Post\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"532\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DLCHm11s5w4\/embed\/\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"background: white; max-width: 540px; width: calc(100% - 2px); border-radius: 3px; border: 1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219); box-shadow: none; display: block; margin: 12px 0px 12px !important; min-width: 326px; padding: 0px;\"><\/iframe>   <div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-seniors\"><strong>The Seniors<\/strong><\/h3>    <p>The four graduating seniors, Marianne Abi Ghanem, Anna Maria Abdo, Nadia Karout, and Joy Wakim, took the final spotlight of the night. There was effort, detail, and structure in their collections. You could tell they had a clear direction and put in the work.<\/p>    <p><\/p>    <p>But still, there was this <em>je ne sais quoi<\/em> element that was missing. It felt like the focus was more on presenting a clean, sellable collection. That doesn\u2019t take away from what they achieved, building a full collection from scratch is already a win.
