Elie Saab

Lebanese designer Elie Saab has long been a leading name in haute couture in the Middle East, where his romantic, crystal-encrusted gowns attracted princesses to his Beirut atelier, opened in 1982 when he was just 18 years old. His ready-to-wear line, which launched in 1998 in Milan, heralds the same feminine aesthetic as his couture dresses, with brightly colored silks, chiffons, pearl beading, and embroidered lace. With their Middle Eastern detailing and European sensibility, Saab gowns are also at home on the Hollywood red carpet; Halle Berry famously wore one to pick up her Academy Award in 2002.

The 1920′s saw Prohibition and the rise of the “roaring 20′s ” ladies of fashion went from the high button tight collared show no leg fashions to daring scandalous women in short fringed and beaded “Flapper: dresses and “Bobbed ” hair dos.

“The trend is only a thread … My  main inspiration comes brides themselves. I strive to create their dress that really suits them. ”

Fabienne Alagama created her wedding dress brand nearly 10 years ago. Her ultra-feminine sensual style allows her to draw dresses  for chic glamor brides in a timeless style. Her work on the bare back is incomparable and helped to make it known to the public. Even today, the back of Fabienne Alagama wedding dresses are an important point of her artistic imprint. Another very important element for the creative is the choice of materials for the best quality.

Limor Rosen

Coming from a heritage of fashion designers who were among the first to establish themselves sixty years ago in Israel, fashion design was a natural choice for Limor Rosen.

She started at Bezalel art academy, where she was given the freedom to relate to garments as works of art and not only as items of clothing.  Studying fashion at the Instituto Europeo di Design in Madrid, Limor came in contact with the highest standards of the European fashion industry. After training later on as part of the design team of the Diane von Furstenberg fashion house in New York, she set up her own studio, Limor Rosen Bridal Couture, in the heart of the Tel Aviv gallery district.
