Elie Saab – A Lebanese Treasure

I can’t believe it’s been more than a year since my last post. A lot has happened, I won’t bore you with details.

My post today is for Lebanon, my Lebanon, the Lebanon I know and I love.

Saddened by the latest events in Beirut, I would like to shed some positive light on one of Lebanon’s creative treasures: Elie Saab.

Elie Saab, started dressmaking since the age of 9 and now he is one of the world’s most renown designers. Angelina Jolie, Katy Perry, Jessica Biel, Katie Holmes and Princess of Sweden are some of the stars and royals that wore Elie Saab.

Most recently, Princess Stephanie of Luxembourg wore an ivory Chantilly lace, satin organza 3/4 sleeve wedding gown by Elie Saab Couture for her wedding to Prince Guillaume of Luxembourg.

And the Oscar goes to…

I would like to dedicate my first post for 2011 to my country, Lebanon, more specifically to some lebanese designers.George Hobeika, Elie Saab and Zuhair Murad who showcased a bit of Lebanese talent at the Golden Globes red carpet.

George Hobeika creations are all about femininity and sensuality. Jane Fonda looked stunning in a sharp shouldered George Hobeika dress embellished with gold and silver sequins.

Elie Saab has become synonymous with luxury and modernism. In a plunning blush Elie Saab gown Scarlett Johansson rocked the red carpet.

Zuhair Murad is the epitome of Middle Eastern glamour, fashion and design. Jennifer Lopez and Christina Agulera looked so chic and glamourous in their Zuhair Murad’s gowns.

 

When it comes to fashion Lebanon takes home the oscar!
