About Racil
Racil is the fashion label founded by Lebanese designer Racil Chalhoub, who built the brand around a simple frustration: the lack of beautifully tailored tuxedos and suiting made for women. Drawing on Lebanese roots and a love of Parisian and cinematic style, she launched a collection dedicated to reinventing the tuxedo and power suit with a feminine, glamorous sensibility.
The label has become a favourite among stylists and editors for its sharp tailoring, velvet and satin lapels, and playful takes on eveningwear. While Chalhoub is based between London and Beirut, her Lebanese heritage and design instinct remain central to the brand’s identity, and Racil has grown into an internationally stocked label.
Why Racil Matters
Racil matters because it carved out a clear niche, elevated women’s tailoring, and proved a Lebanese designer could build an international ready-to-wear brand around a single, strong idea. Racil Chalhoub’s reinvention of the tuxedo has earned lasting fashion-industry admiration and made the label a go-to for modern power dressing. It is a standout example of Lebanese talent on the global stage.
