From fun to formal and back again, Jalpar has a dress for any occasion.
"It's great that we're in Austin. [It’s a] liberal city for us to be Lebanese designers [in]. We're very accepting of new designs, which is definitely something we need for a high end couture line," Jalpar Vice President, Audrey Davis, said.
Jalpar is a product of Lebanese based designers who found a home in Austin. Their one of a kind designs are all handmade and their inspiration is the deep sea of their homeland, Lebanon.

Carly Morris is about to compete in one of the biggest events of her life, the Miss Texas Pageant, in Houston, this weekend.
"Everything is very feminine, you feel like a queen, you feel like a princess [and] that's what I love," Morris said.
She will wear Jalpar exclusively in hopes of winning the crown and the owners of Jalpar are excited for Morris and the competition this weekend.
"It's very exciting. She’s very beautiful and intelligent. Our vision, we uphold [is] classy elegance. Every woman can feel special in her own way," Davis said.
If Morris wins, it would be a dream come true, for both her and these Austin based designers.
"It really would [allow] so much exposure [and] the opportunities are endless and whatever happens, happens," Morris said.
You can catch Morris and Jalpar in the Miss Texas pageant this weekend, but don't be fashionably late. Be Fashionably 8.
