BEIRUT - Elie Saab announces the opening of its first UK boutique in Harrods, in Eveningwear on the first floor.

The first Elie Saab boutique in the UK will offer the ready-to-wear collection with a selection of items and accessories from embellished cocktail dresses to show-stopping evening gowns.

Elie Saab says; “I am delighted to be opening my first boutique in London at Harrods. I believe that Harrods is the right partner for us because of its status in luxury retail in the UK and its broad base of customers.”

Marigay McKee, Fashion and Beauty Director at Harrods, says; "Elie Saab's signature gowns with dramatic silhouettes and spectacular embellishment effortlessly combine European trends with Middle Eastern inspiration. Our clients will be seduced by the elegant show stopping creations available at the new boutique."

The boutique is a balance of the famous listed Baroque decorated ceiling of Harrods and an undulating wall of tall pivoting mirrors creating multi-faceted reflections of the collection.

Elie Saab, based in Beirut and Paris, has secured his position as one of the most noted designers on the Hollywood Red Carpet. Women wearing Elie Saab have consistently gained recognition on the best dressed list, to name a few Marcia Cross and Debra Messing for the 57th annual Emmy Awards and Beyonce Knowles, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams of Destiny’s Child for the 2006 Grammy Awards. Elie Saab is a correspondent member of the Chambre Syndicale in Paris and shows his couture and ready-to-wear collections in Paris.
