Lebanese and international designer Bassil Soda passed away on Monday after a long struggle with illness.
After 20 years of experience in the fashion world, the Lebanese designer opened his own couture house in 2001, and became one of the top middle-eastern designers who presented elegant dresses worn by Hollywood's stars, as well as local and Arab divas.
Soda left many fingerprints in the fashion world by launching his own trademark in Europe and the United States.
