Elie Saab

I have a newfound favourite designer. Given away by the title of this post, it is Elie Saab. I discovered him yesterday when I was looking at the Spring/Summer 2009 Haute Couture Collection on the Vogue website. The thing I love most about his designs is the fact that they're very creative and unique. Its not necissarily the fact that I would wear them, because some of his creations are too extreme; its the eautiful designs and uses of fabrics, and how he puts them altogether and they just work. The way he puts various fabrics together, and the way he layers them/uses them is purely amazing. Take a look at this video of his ready-to-wear collection from Spring/Summer 09.



As you can see from the video, Elie Saab uses volume as his one of his fabulous techniques. He loves to experiment, and the outcomes of his experimentations is, obviously, always beautiful and creative. He just tempts me to be a designer, which I'm unsure about. I'm only a senior, I've still got less then two years to decide. I'm thinking of journalism. How wonderful would it be if I could work for a fashion magazine? *sigh..*
