Ever since Leighton Meester wore an Elie Saab dress in Gossip Girl, i haven't been able to get enough of this amazing designer. This Lebanese designer launched his label when he was only 18 years old with his primary workshop located in Lebanon. Saab is a self-trained designer and started sewing when was a child and knew that one day he would make a living out of it. He moved to Paris to study fashion but ended up returning home and opening his workshop. He became an overnight success after he became the first Lebanese designer to dress Halle Berry in 2002. Berry wore a burgundy gown to the Academy award when she won Best Actress. since then Saab has dress many notable people including Angelina Jolie, Rihanna and even royalty, designing the wedding dress for the Luxembourg royal wedding of HRH Prince Guillaume to Belgian Countess Stephanie de Lannoy. Definitely one of my top designers! xox
