Worldwide is an overused word. But it's true that being known has given me new ideas and a chance to get to know new people who think in different ways. I want to hear myself referred to as Elie Saab, without labels or titles.

His creations can be found all over the world with boutiques located in Beirut Paris and London (also in Selfridges and Harrods). Elie Saab has 60 retail outlets all over the world. Three customers called the designer's offices and ordered the dress to wear to weddings.
