Byblos: A Lab For Creativity

Byblos Established in 1973, Byblos has been home to the creative genius of Gianni Versace (1977-1979), Guy Paulin (1979-1982), Keith Varty and Allen Cleaver (1981-1996), Richard Tyler and John Bartlett.

Unlike Chloe that embraces the total personality of its current head designer, Byblos has created a style and signature separated from the designer and definitely Byblos.

There is no doubt that it has benefited from the creative prowess of each designer who worked with Byblos, but instead of just a conglomeration of ideas, it was a convergence of style that is unique and identifiable as Byblos.

The man behind the scenes is Sergio Girombelli who kept Byblos's vision for the almost three decades. Since its inception, Byblos has always been above all else lightheartedness and easy spirit, a joy for life and living.

Designers who have been part of Byblos creative efforts include Richard Tyler, John Bartlett, and Martine Sitbon.

For the Spring 2003 womenswear collection, design trio - Greg Myler, Stefano Citron, and Federico Piaggi, all formerly from Mila Schon took the helm. The design trio left after the Fall 2006 womenswear season, which was also their last collection for the brand.

Central St. Martin graduate Manuel Facchini took over the helm and debuted during the Spring 2007 Milan menswear fashion season.
