About the brand

Elie Saab is a renowned Lebanese fashion designer who transformed from a self-taught child prodigy into one of the world's most celebrated couturiers. Born in 1964 in Damour, Lebanon, Saab began designing at age nine, creating dresses for his sisters using newspaper patterns and fabric scraps from his mother's closet. At just 18, he opened his first atelier in Beirut in 1982, initially specializing in bridal couture. Saab gained international recognition when Halle Berry wore his burgundy embroidered gown to accept her Oscar in 2002, making him the first Lebanese designer to dress an Academy Award winner. Known for his exquisite haute couture and ready-to-wear collections, Saab's designs feature intricate embroidery, luxurious fabrics like mousseline and lace, and his signature emphasis on the feminine silhouette, particularly the waist. His creations are favored by royalty and celebrities worldwide, with boutiques spanning from Paris to Dubai, establishing him as a global luxury fashion powerhouse.

What people are saying

What I love about Elie Saab is how ethereal all their clothing is.

Jun, 2025

Harper's Bazaar Arabia

Elie Saab once again redefined bridal elegance with a breathtaking nude-pink gown. Featuring a built-in corset bodice, the dress exudes romance, adorned with delicate appliqué flowers that continue flowing onto the train. A perfect blend of structure and softness.

The Impression

If there's a designer working today who most embodies the quintessential vision of haute couture, it's probably Elie Saab. With Saab's collections, we always know what we're getting ourselves into – romantic, fantastical, ultra-feminine, impeccable craft – and we're always amazed.

The Impression

Whether it's channeling the work of Claude Monet or Levi Strauss (or both), an Elie Saab collection always forms a space that allows us to simply revel in the beauty that human hands are capable of creating.

Middle-Eastern haute couture designers stay killing it. The first look alone had me sold and I'm happy the rest of the collection didn't let down either. I love nearly everything.

Saab's 2025 couture collection, titled “Portrait of a Dream,” combined craftsmanship, imaginative artistry, and the use of light to explore his world of fantasy.

This one looks like a Mucha painting. The lines are so beautiful.

...deep blue denim was elevated with a bejeweled touch distinct to Saab couture.

The Impression

Taking on the “icons of sports luxe” the designers typical flamboyance has met its match with the addition of high-functioning activewear to extend the brands reach to all aspects of the customers lifestyle.

But one dress I did like is the Elie Saab... However the price for the full look is astronomical.
