Lebanon's Ejjeh 1926 Spent a Century Crafting Suits With Character
Meet the designer behind Love Is Blind Habibi's men's outfits. Aug 17, 2025 The process of dressing for a grand occasion is universally considered one of the more difficult tasks in life. You want to wear something that's flattering, but not doing too much, something that reflects who you are, but doesn't give too much away. It's a delicate balance that involves at least three group chat consultations and an entire wardrobe fleshed out on your bedroom floor. You can imagine the challenge posed ahead of Ejjeh 1926 designer and creative director Amer Ejjeh when he was asked to provide outfits for all of the bachelors on Netflix reality show Love Is Blind Habibi. 'We produce our suits according to each gentleman's character,' Ejjeh tells Scene Styled, 'His lifestyle dictates what fabric and cut we use.' Ejjeh's family has been in the tailoring business since 1926, dressing Lebanon's finest and gradually expanding their expertise globally. Their designs are majorly inspired by both the people they are made for and the environment surrounding them. 'Lebanon has different facets that make it special,' tells us Ejjeh, 'from the sea to the mountains to the valleys. One that sticks out in my head is beloved singer Fayrouz, who inspired the creation of the Fayrouz lapel, which has now become a classic.' With nearly a century of experience in the menswear industry, they've become delicately attuned to the process of building suits with character, and then changing them as clients change. On a show where personal and physical transformation is inevitable like Love Is Blind Habibi, this skill came particularly useful - especially when one of the suitors' figure changed days from his big reveal - a hurdle Ejjeh was able to overcome in a matter of hours.

Riham Abdel Ghafour to Star in TV Series "Five Stars"
Yara Sameh Egyptian actress Riham Abdel Ghafour has signed on to star in the social thriller TV series "Khamas Nogoum" ("Five Stars"). It hails from director Tamer Ashry and is produced by Ahmed Fahmy. "Five Stars" consists of 15 episodes and is set to be screened during the Off Season. Principal photography is set to commence soon. Abdel Ghafour was recently seen starring opposite Mohamed Farrag Netflix's highly anticipated original series "Catalog". Directed by Waleed El Halfawy and penned by Ayman Wattar, "Catalog" is set in Cairo and follows Youssef (Mohamed Farrag), a father of two reeling from the sudden loss of his wife, Amina (Abdel Ghafour).

The cast also includes Samah Anwar, Tara Emad, Ali El Beialy, Retal Abd El Aziz, Donia Sami, Sedky Sakhr, Dina Samy, Khaled Kamal, Bayoumi Fouad, and more.

Duffer Brothers Eyeing Massive Paramount Overall Deal
Yara Sameh Matt and Ross Duffer are contemplating moving from Netflix to Paramount in a rich new overall deal. The Duffer Brothers, creators of the Netflix juggernaut 'Stranger Things,' are in advanced negotiations to exclusively create film and television — with an emphasis on tentpole movies — at the legacy studio just taken over by David Ellison's Skydance. The move reunites the Duffers with Cindy Holland, Paramount's new head of streaming, who greenlit 'Stranger Things' at Netflix. It would also witness the pair working with Josh Greenstein and Dana Goldberg, who share film and series creative duties. The Duffers do still have considerable business with Netflix through their production company Upside Down Pictures — a nod to the phantasmagoric alternate dimension that fuels the story on 'Stranger Things' —, run by producing partner Hilary Leavitt. The pair completed production on two new series set to debut on the streamer in 2026: the adventure series 'The Boroughs' with Bill Pullman, Geena Davis, Alfre Woodard and Alfred Molina; and the relationship horror series 'Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen' with Jennifer Jason Leigh. A preview of the upcoming animated prequel 'Stranger Things: Tales From '85' screened at the 2025 Annecy Festival in June. The brothers are expected to mount an as-yet unannounced live-action spin-off series following the fifth and final season of 'Stranger Things,' which premieres in November. Before 'Stranger Things' made them household names, the Duffers' career almost stalled before it could start, when Warner Bros. sat on their directorial debut, the post-apocalyptic thriller 'Hidden,' for years after they'd made it, ultimately dumping it into the VOD market. M. Night Shyamalan, however, liked their script for the film so much that he hired them as writers on his 2015 Fox series 'Wayward Pines.' Their pilot script for what became 'Stranger Things' was turned down by just about every network in the industry, until Shawn Levy's 21 Laps came on board and sold the show to Netflix. The first season, for which the Duffers directed six of the eight episodes, became an instant sensation when it debuted in July 2016 — the streamer's first homegrown hit show without a name-brand creator or subject matter. The fourth season of the show became Netflix's most-watched English-language series ever when it debuted in 2022. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated
