Paris // Paris

Lots of lace, lots of sheerness lots of beautiful gowns and streetwear pieces.

Saab is self-trained and began sewing as a child. At the age of eight his attention was already turned to fashion. He used to cut patterns out of newspaper and searched his mother's closet for any lace he could find. He used his sister as his model, raiding his mother's closet for anything he could drape upon her.However, his family was pleasantly surprised when he turned out a blue and white striped gown for his sister. He felt inspired by the elegance and beauty in a woman. In 1981 he moved to Paris to study fashion, but ended up returning and opening his workshop in 1982. Elie Saab has 100 retail outlets all over the world.
