Invitation to the Launch of Le Loft 271

Beirut has always been at the forefront of fashion - a reference point for the Middle East fashionistas (not to mention birth place of our own trend spotter Maya A. Kanaan), so it comes as no surprise that a store which includes an Art space, an Event venue AND a boutique for all art, design and fashion lovers finds its perfect setting in the Middle East's Fashion Capital - Beirut!
