Dream Dresses

Magic, sumptuous fabrics, delicately embroidered with gold & glass beads, a spectacular collection, one look and you know it's Elie Saab. Let's see what inspires you.


His limitless creativity, his skill in making women look and feel special. The top couturier in my eyes and in many of the world's princesses and a solve favour tie with the Holywood stars. ( & I don't just mean Holywood N Ireland)


2015 we had a collection with powder-coloured Jewel dresses ranging from white & black to green & pink with feathers inlays and sequins. The models moved on the catwalk like fairies or dragonflies, their floating shapes clinched at the waist with Saab's slim belts to define the female figure. 


Spring 2016 yet another breath taking collection. Saab had an Indian theme at the Haute Couture Week, adding an exotic tinge to his sparkly gowns and cocktail dresses, swags over the shoulder reminiscent of the Indian sari. 



He divides his time between Beirut and Paris, where he has his second atelier, Milan and New York. He has managed to modernise the East and fuse it with the West. 


"It's true that my designs lean towards an Eastern style. It's my native culture and it has an influence on my work. I'm most attracted to the warmth of its colours. And the sensual and dramatic aspect of my dresses also owes a great deal to this legacy. 


Dare to dream. He taught himself the secrets of dress making and how to enhance the female body with dresses. Elie Saab's goal is far more than dressing princesses and stars. For him, it's reaching every type of women is his ultimate goal. 



Thank you Mr Saab for the inspiration.
