IN SHORT

L’Officiel Levant editor-in-chief and L’Orient-Le Jour columnist Fifi Abou Dib has written on culture and fashion through some of Lebanon’s most challenging and interesting times. Her words of wisdom? “Hang on.” And it’s her roots talking. “I am from the mountains,” she explains. “I am a peasant with mud on my shoes. Sometimes the city girl in me panics, but my peasant part says, ‘It’s okay. Time will do. There’s a solution for everything.’”
