I was only 14 years old when I watched Halle Berry recieve her first Oscar. More than the feat accomplished (Monster was an awesome movie!), I was awestruck by the gown she wore. And 9 years later, that particular gown is still stuck in my head- A floral netted bodice attached to a satin-silk ruffled burgundy skirt. It was, and still is the best piece of garment I've ever seen.
Elie Saab was a name I wasn't familiar with, then; It was only a few months ago that I learnt of this Lebanese couturier, whose objet d' art was the much coveted gown.
Since then, I poured myself over everything that was Elie Saab. I love his garments solely because his sense of aesthetics appeal to my fancies (someday perhaps....*sigh*)
I've always been a sucker for romance. Be it movies or books. I love it even more when Romance translates itself in terms of fashion. Throw in a few laces of sensuality combined with artistic eccentricity and you make my day! Which is exactly why I love Saab. And what strikes me most, is that this man, unlike most other fashion geniuses, had no formal training whatsoever. All he did, was to "follow his heart" sincerely! And what came through is now widely accepted as modern luxury.
Be it in Beirut (where he first opened his atelier at the age of 18!) or in Milan, his takers are many- ranging from princesses to actresses. Saab's gowns are best described as having a "Middle Eastern detailing alongside a European sensibility".
Satins, silks, chiffons, chantilly lace, pearls, beadwork & crystals are some of the things one looks out for in an Elie Saab. Even his pret is no lesser feat in terms of luxury.
As I scan through the pictures his 2011 collection, I can only wish for a miraculous fiscal breakthrough, to acquire some of these that sit pretty on my wish list!

An interesting discussion is worth comment. There's no doubt that that you should write more on this topic, it might not be a taboo matter but generally people don't talk about such issues.
To the next! Cheers!!
