Elie Saab Prefers Celebrities To Wear His Designs

Elie Saab says it means more to see celebrities wearing his clothes than models because they are ''real women''.
Elie Saab prefers celebrities rather than models to wear his designs because they are "real women".
The Lebanese fashion designer - whose clothes have been worn by stars including Halle Berry, Rihanna and Emma Watson - admitted he is happier to see actresses and singers wearing his garments because they do justice to his designs.
He explained to Britain's HELLO! magazine: "Unlike the catwalk, where the 17-year-old models are so tall, the red carpet is like a podium for real life - it means so much more to me to see them in my dresses."
Elie also designed Katy Perry's stunning gown for her wedding to Russell Brand and he was thrilled to work with the "sweet" singer but warns he has no plans to replicate the dress for anyone else.
He said: "She wears a lot of my dresses and she came to Paris to choose this one and for her fittings - she is such a sweet girl.
"If a client orders a dress for a special occasion, she wants to look unique."
