Which fashion designer is your favorite?

Hmm... Fashion designer's are... 

my future "workmates"?? xD (Lol I don't mean working together, I'm refering to working in the same business industry ;p hehe). Okay let's get to the point!

Is there any fashion designer that you love or see as an inspiration?
For me... actually... even though I've always been interested in fashion, to be honest, I didn't know so much information about fashion designer's. Of course if I saw a random runway on TV I did like to watch it, and I still do! But I always thought about the designs, not the designer himself. So I haven't been "stalking" any fashion designer, if you get what I mean ;p 

Anyway, for our extra assignment for lecture 1, we had to choose a fashion designer to write about him/her. So it was hard to choose as there's MANY fashion designer's out there. I started with reading short about 36 famous and historical fashion designer's, and then I chose 11 from them that I thought was interesting. And after reading more about these 11 designers and watching some of their designs I chose 2 of them. And then finally after a hard time choosing between those two designers, Vera Wang and Elie Saab, I chose to write about Elie Saab! I chose him because I like Elie Saab's style, that is "a unique fusion of western and eastern culture", which I could notice directly before even reading about him.

A picture of Elie Saab.

Elie Saab is a fashion designer born in Beirut, Lebanon. He was born 4:th July, year 1964. By reading about his story, you can see that he got famous for his talent and nothing else. That's how he made success! He is self trained and was already interested in fashion design as a child, at the age of nine, so he began sewing. Elie Saab’s talents grew and he started selling his designs to women in his neighborhood. Year 1982, when Saab was 18 years old, he opened his own couture atelier in Beirut. And later, his reputation grew, and now are his designs even attracted by high society women out of Beirut’s borders. Now he have both Haute Couture and ready-to-wear collections! He even launched his own fragrance 2011, by the name "Le Parfum" by Elie Saab.
