According to The National, the show is expected to feature a runway presentation and several performances, the show will be run by Done+Dusted, the company behind the Victoria’s Secret fashion shows. The show will feature nearly 300 looks that will all be styled by Carine Roitfeld, stylist and former editor of French Vogue.
Renowned Lebanese fashion designer, Elie Saab first got into fashion when he moved to Paris to study the craft in 1981. By 1982, he had opened up his label back in Beirut and worked with a team of 15 working on bridal couture, making wedding dresses and gowns using expensive fabrics, lace, detailed embroidery, pearls, crystals and silk threads. Saab became more popular in the United States after he became the first Lebanese designer to dress an Oscar winner, Halle Berry, in 2002.
The show will be happening at Riyadh Season’s newest zone, The Venue, and will also be streamed across his social media platforms and broadcast on the MBC.
