Elie Saab
From this year’s 2007 Spring/Summer Haute Couture shows in Paris (held late January), some of my favourite pieces were by a Lebanese designer, by the name of Elie Saab. Saab taught himself how to sew as a child, and when he was 18, in 1982, launched his Beruit-based label. He showed his first Haute Couture collection in Paris in 2003, and is now a permanent fixture on the Paris runways. He has dressed celebrities such as Halle Berry, Beyonce Knowles, Salma Hayek, and Catherine Zeta Jones.
His clothing features silk, chiffons, embroidered lace and pearl beading for a feminine aesthetic - so you know I’m going to be loving his items!
Some of my favourite pieces from his show this January:
You’re right, Ellie Saab does beautiful dresses - now if only one would land at my feet so I could wear it and feel like a princess!
