Elie Saab

Elie Saab is a Lebanese fashion designer. His main workshop is in Lebanon, with additional workshops in Milan and Paris. He started his business in the early 1980s and specialized in bridal couture. He is the first Arab to be admitted to the fashion industry's governing body, Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture.

Famous celebrities and royalty all over the world have worn Lebanese fashion designer Elie Saab’s ultra-feminine, flowing gowns. Born and raised in Damour, a coastal suburb of Beirut, Saab began teaching himself how to sew before the age of 10, dressing his sister in scraps of fabric from their mother’s closet that he would sew together. By 1982, at age 18, he had launched his own label in Beirut, after a brief stint at design school in Paris. Despite the civil war that broke out in Lebanon in 1975 that displaced many people, including Saab’s own family, he insisted on opening his dressmaking studio in his native country.
