One of my favorite designers is the fantastic Elie Saab. The Lebanese designer has truly found his place amongst the couturiers of the world. Elie has gained a name for himself amongst other renowned fashion designers such as Oscar de la Renta, Valentino, Marchesa and Monique Lhuillier.
I can’t quite decide why I adore him so much; I suspect it has to do with all the delicate details of each and every gown he produces. They appear almost angelic, organic and transcend their time. Each ruffle, adorned sequin, plunging neckline and effortless beauty seems to create a sort of dream on the runway. I could quite literally sit with a glass of wine and watch his runway videos all day long. The marriage between off the shoulder necklines, soft flowing trains and open back gowns is truly exquisite, it’s ethereal. The way his gowns flutter and glide down the runway leaves you wanting more. Even though this video is from the Spring Summer 2010 collection it has become my favorite. I think when a designer of this calibre produces such unique pieces we too can find inspiration to be more feminine, more relaxed and more confident.
Please take a moment to enjoy the enchanting Elie Saab and let me know if he inspires you as well...
Oh, I love it so much! Whimsical Beauty.
