Elie Saab


Elie Saab est né en 1964 au Liban. Il s'intéresse dès son plus jeune âge à la couture: à seulement neuf ans, il confectionne des vêtements pour sa soeur et adolescent, il vend ses créations aux femmes de son quartier. A 18 ans, Elie Saab ouvre un atelier de couture à Beyrouth, Liban, et dirige une quinzaine d'ouvriers maîtrisant toutes les ficelles du métier de couture. Dans les mois qui suivent, il présente sa première collection à un public de femmes conquis par son talent, et sa renommée s'étend rapidement au-delà des frontières. Il présente ses collections à Paris depuis 2000 mais Beyrouth reste sa principale source d'inspiration et son lieu de développement.



Le créateur sublime la féminité à travers ses créations, travaillant des matières nobles, des broderies délicates de grandes qualité. Il mise sur la féerie avec des créations simples et des matières précieuses, tout en restant dans la forme et le raffinement. Elie Saab nous éblouit par ses détails minutieux et par son sens du beau.

He usually wears extra-skinny jeans, printed shirts widely unbuttoned and boots. He wears a lot of Saint Laurent – which is doubtless his favorite brand – as well as some Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton. He kind of is the new Mick Jagger, in terms of fashion. In fact, his style could be described as rock n' roll chic, which explains his love for Saint Laurent – whose image was reinvented by Hedi Slimane . If Harry was a brand, he would definitely be Saint Laurent, which is one of the biggest names in fashion nowadays, especially in menswear. We would love seeing him walk for the iconic brand he does justice and is loyal to. But you know that for ...

PFW: Viktor & Rolf Couture Fall Winter 2015/2016 - "Wearable Art"

This wednesday Viktor and Rolf  presented their latest Haute Couture collection in Paris they named "Wearable Art". If you don't know it yet, the two designers revealed they would follow the steps of Jean Paul Gaultier by only focusing on Haute Couture. This show truly showed how fashion is a full art - wearable art to use their own words. While a lot of people question the true meaning of Couture, defining it as a bunch of expensive clothes you will never wear, Viktor and Rolf got things straight: fashion should not be considered only as a way to look good and following trends is boring - even though it is kind of important since it portrays a certain generation. Fashion should be considered as art on the same level as painting, architecture, poetry, music... If you are going to spend tons of money on a painting, why not on an outfit ? Both are different kinds of art. Anyway, it is interesting to see how the show evolved. The first looks consisted on denim sm...
