Elie Saab

Elie Saab opened his atelier in Beirut in 1982 at just eighteen years old, quickly establishing a recognisable language through embroidery, transparency, crystals and highly precise couture techniques. Elie Saab continues to lead the Maison’s creative direction, expanding Haute Couture into a universe that also includes ready-to-wear, accessories and lifestyle. Fluid dresses, draping, three-dimensional embellishment and precious materials define a sophisticated, dramatic aesthetic deeply connected to the dialogue between Middle Eastern craftsmanship and European couture culture. Over time, the Maison has broadened its language without losing its meticulous focus on handwork. Elie Saab interprets glamour through lightness, sensuality and an exacting construction of detail.
