LKSOS – Lara Khoury’s Secrets of Survival – is a DIY Sewing Pattern kit and a fashion-forward project setting the basis for sustainable creative liberation and fashion autonomy.

It’s inspired by the unwavering resilience of the human spirit and the tireless resistance of the human mind.
When faced with creative oppression, we learn how to dream alone.
When faced with economic repression, we learn how to fight with tools.
When faced with ruling systems, we learn to create our own worlds - often in the dark.
Moments of collective hope arise when communities come together, determined to share the means to conspire for a better collective fate.

Through this project, Lara Khoury is sharing the making techniques, tricks, and secrets of her signature pieces in an attempt to empower you on continuing your personal revolutions through self-expression. Giving you a framework to create autonomously wherever your journey might take you.
The first edition features 4 looks from the Golden collection, paying homage to the Golden ages of Beirut in the 50’s. Capturing the glowing spirits, flashy attitudes, and hopeful attributes of the Golden age protagonists through patterns open for your own interpretation.

These are the Secrets - a framework set for you to absorb, and a guidance tailored for your creative discretion.
Follow the Grain Lines and give birth to your own fashion looks.
