Rami Kashou (born May 11, 1976 in Jerusalem, West Bank[1]) is a Palestinian fashion designer and a finalist in season 4 of the reality show Project Runway (2007).
In the early 2000s, Kashou featured his work in Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, America’s Next Top Model ad campaign, and Home Shopping Network, and he received the GenArt Alumni sponsorship and was commissioned by Queen Rania of Jordan to design clothing for her appearances.
[7] Kashou describes his inspiration as: "The dreams to become a designer came from the lack of childhood space, growing up among jeeps, soldiers, intimidation, violence and occupation.
[4] Kashou made guest appearances multiple times on the Home Shopping Network, featuring exclusive designs for the show "Curations" that sold out on-air.
[10] Kashou's designs have appeared in the pages of The New York Times Magazine and Women’s Wear Daily,[1] as well as Vogue, Interview, Elle, InStyle, Lucky, People, and Us Weekly.
