Designer Spotlight- Elie Saab

More about the Designer Mr. Elie Saab (from eliesaab.com)

Mr.Elie Saab was born in Lebanon in 1964. He is a self taught fashion designer and began his career at age 9 by making clothing for his sisters. As he hit adolescents he began selling his creations to the women in his neighborhood. In 1982, at the age of 18, he opened his Couture Atelier in Beirut managing over a dozen employees. In the following months, he presented his first collection to a Public of Women, instantly won over by the talent of the Autodidact Artist. His reputation rapidly transcended Beirut's borders, attracting women from high society who desired an Elie Saab dress. 

Invited by the Chambre Syndicale De La Haute Couture to show in Paris in 2000, he presented four collections a year (Haute Couture and Ready to Wear) and six years later became a corresponding member. In 2007, he set a flagship boutique in the heart of le Triangle D'or. Beirut remains his main source of inspiration, it is where he's founded and maintained his studio. In 2005, he inaugurated a modern five-story building where the workshops are now located, as well as his studio, the Ready-to-Wear boutique and Couture showroom. The Elie Saab Atelier is where all the Haute Couture gowns are made and passed through the hands of the designer. It is the sole heart of the savior-faire and excellence of his achievements. 

Pre-Fall Collection Highlight

Elie Saab's Pre-Fall 2015 Collection mesmerizes me. From the lace embroidery, to the perfectly placed lines and cuts of each design, every detail is placed perfectly. I am in love with the color palette he chose for this collection and I believe the color of purple he chose will a must have color for fall 2015. I have never been more inspired. Elie Saab has always been one of my favorite designers, but this collection definitely placed him in the number one spot. Each show I see, I think it can't get any better than this, but each collection is more detailed and even more enchanting. When I think of Elie Saab I think of the ultimate Women's romance wear, the clothing you wear when you want to feel like a classy romantically enchanted princess. This particular collection is one that will go down in my archives as one of the best ever. The looks are so classic and elegant, they are perfect for any woman. 

(p.s. I cannot wait to see Elie Saab's full fall collection this is only a tease!!)
