Born in Beirut and based in Dubai, Haidar Krayem is the founder and designer behind Oscar Kraye.
His creative instinct developed from a young age through an innate curiosity for how things were made, transformed, and given new meaning. Before establishing his own label, Haidar explored design independently, experimenting with materials, forms, and processes while developing an instinct for detail, function, and the character that emerges through the act of making.
In 2022, he launched his first couture and prêt-à-porter collections, marking the beginning of Oscar Kraye and the first public expression of a vision he had spent years shaping. Since then, his work has expanded beyond couture into accessories and objects, allowing him to explore design through different forms of expression.
For Haidar, creation begins with curiosity. His work is driven by a desire to understand, reinterpret, and transform ideas into pieces that carry a distinct character and reflect his evolving perspective as a designer.
