Elie Saab
Elie Saab was born on the 4th of July 1964. He is a Lebanese fashion designer. His main workshop is in Lebanon, with additional workshops in Milan and Paris.
The brand of Elie Saab is very expensive with dresses ranging from 3,000, 8,000 to even 10,000.

I absolutely love Elie Saabs dresses as they are colourful, feminine and sophisticated. His work is effortless and always on trend. He continues to design garments that are worn all over the world by celebrities and rich well known people. 



















High Street

H & M Hennes & Mauritz (H&M) is a Swedish multinational retail-clothing company, known for its fast-fashion clothing for men, women, teenagers and children. H & M clothes ranges from £20-£30 for dresses, £7.99-£19.99 for tops and £7.99-£24.99. I really like the clothing in H&M as they are fashionable at affordable prices. The clothes are normally inspired by high-end/designer clothes so they are always on trend with the newest styles.
