The name of one of the most famous women's dress designers became widely known in 2002. This happened after Halle Berry, the winner in the Best Actress nomination, went out to receive the Oscar gold statuette in a spectacular outfit that amazed both the discerning audience in the hall and the millions of viewers who watched the film award ceremony on television. The American actress chose Elie Saab for the ceremony, opting for a sleeveless evening dress consisting of a sheer bodice with luxurious floral embroidery, a long burgundy taffeta skirt and a train made of the same material.
It was this dress that became the most luxurious and bright outfit of the ceremony. It also made fashion designer Elie Saab, whose path to success lasted more than 20 years, truly famous.
A native of Lebanon, Elie Saab, as a child, began to show interest in his future profession, and in 1981 he began to study design skills in Paris. A year later, the 18-year-old returned toBeirut, where he opened a small atelier, which became the first step to the heights of High Fashion. Soon the debut collection of Elie Saab was released, the dresses of which were intended for representatives of high society. Exclusive materials, hand embroidery, collectible lace, pearls and other rich decor - all this attracted the country's most famous fashionistas. In the early 90s, the Beirut sewing workshop began to receive regular orders from French and Swiss admirers of the young designer.
Outside of Lebanon, the first Elie Saab collection was shown in the capital of Italy (1997). In 1998, the ready-to-wear collection was launched in Milan. The show of the creations of the king of Lebanese fashion in Monaco added Princess Stephanie to the admirers of his talent. This was followed by the conquest of sophisticated Paris and the entire fashion world. The first salon of an Arab designer in Paris was opened in 2000.
A little later Elie Saab House became a full member of the High Fashion Syndicate - the most prestigious and authoritative European organization of the fashion industry. Then, in Paris, the heart of European fashion, the Lebanese designer presented one of his most brilliant collections.
