Designer Flash by Hal Rubenstein
From the time he was a child, Elie Saab never wanted to do anything but design elegant clothes. After studying design in Paris, he returned to his hometown of Beirut and opened his own atelier. He has never worked for any other label and has never been anyone’s apprentice. After 42 years, Saab still owns his company, not beholden to any corporate overseer, and in all that time, he has had only one mission: to make women feel beautiful in clothes that are unapologetically glamourous.
In an industry currently focusing unnerving attention on logos, branding, sunglasses, and lip gloss, Saab is a unicorn. He is unyielding in his belief that clothing should always be a label’s focus, and trends have no validity if they upstage the woman wearing them. Cynics may call such thinking old-fashioned. However, it’s refreshing. Besides, for justification, all you have to do is watch the body language of Julia Roberts, Jennifer Lopez, Cara Delevingne, Angelina Jolie, Andra Day, Jennifer Hudson, or Jane Fonda on a red carpet wearing one of Saab’s sweepingly romantic gowns, each one gliding along royally, beaming like Cinderella who just found out her curfew doesn’t end at midnight. When Saab sees that, he’s a happy man.
