Inspiration : Elie Saab

An early vocation...

says the head title of the biographical page of this Libanian designer on his website.
Born in 1964, in Beyrouth, (Beirut) Elie Saab found out about his vocation pretty early, considering at only 9, he started sewing clothes for his sister. He also used to sell the clothes he made to the ladies in his neighborhood. A few years later, at 18, he opens his sewing workshop, still in his hometown. After being requested to introduce one of his collections on a runaway in Paris in 2000, he moved there seven years later and Elie Saab is now the man we know for designing magnificient dresses that celebrities are fond of wearing on the Red Carpet and for any other occasion.

Now let's have a peek at his work :
