The Godfather: Elie Saab

Welcome to your first look inside the pages of #SFX – Savoir Flair’s forthcoming coffee table book published by Assouline. For this gorgeous editorial starring supermodel Cindy Bruna, the godfather of Lebanese couture Elie Saab guest-edited the shoot, hand-selecting 10 of his favorite couture designs from the past 10 years. In the shoot, Bruna brings to life the story of a modern-day princess, borrowing a few quiet moments before she is launched into society — but it’s Elie Saab’s exquisite gowns that truly steal the spotlight.
