Felix Ray
Felix Rey has established itself as a sophisticated and ultra-feminine luxury brand.
The sensibility of the accessories line is a clear reflection of the personal styles of co-
founders Lily Rafii Band and Sulaika Zarrouk. After graduating from Georgetown
University, Lily joined Morgan Stanley’s M&A group in New York. After several years
as an Investment Banker, her entrepreneurial spirit led her to pursue a more creative
calling by establishing Felix Rey. As the daughter of an artist growing up in New York
City, Sulaika was exposed to painting and the fine arts since childhood. She studied
Fashion Design at FIT and received a BA from the Gallatin School of Individualized
Study at NYU. After working in advertising, then Collection Design at Donna Karan,
she founded Felix Rey with partner Lily. So, who is Felix Rey? A Doctor! It was Doctor
Felix Rey who tended to Vincent Van Gogh after he cut off a portion of his ear and was
admitted to an asylum. The two men befriended each other and Van Gogh painted a
portrait of the doctor in lieu of payment for his services. Felix Rey, meaning “Happy
King”, is a pseudonym Lily and Sulaika chose to personify their brand after seeing this
inspirational portrait. Felix Rey products are sold worldwide and are regularly featured
in prominent fashion editorials. A favorite among celebrities, Felix Rey has also been
featured on Sex and the City.
