Lebanese Designers: Zuhair Murad Revisited, Rania Salibi Introduced, and of course, Elie Saab

It seems after we posted about him, everyone began talking about Zuhair Murad!

See this CNN article and VIDEO titled "Lebanese designer-to-the-stars Zuhair Murad finds magic in Beirut." The article is a MUST READ!!


Also, after we published the list of pictures of celebrities in Zuhair Murad, look who we found in ZM at the 2010 Vanity Fair Oscar Party??

It's Katy Perry!



But alas, the Lebanese Designer news amidst Oscar Buzz does not end there!

Did anyone notice the dress of that woman that walks on and off with the winners at the Oscars? Who cares who she is, but her dress this year was made by Rania Salibi, a Lebanese designer (what, you can't tell by her name, skinny figure and ridiculously frizzy hair??) who entered and won a competition with other designers who were hoping to dress that Oscar lady.

Read about it HERE.


And finally, last but certainly NOT least, this ABC News article on Elie Saab titled "Elie Saab Offers up Choices for Hollywood Fans," and just for fun, here's a picture of actress Hilary Swank in Elie Saab.




Yeyyy for Lebanese fashion designers!!

The once tacky Lebanese designer Georges Chakra is reinventing himself, as seen with the recent popularity of his short white dresses. I remember when I used to see his fashions in Arabic magazines and it was the tackiest thing you had ever seen with ridiculous mixtures of bright colors, feathers and such....but he seems to be doing much better for himself nowadays.

Seems someone I had previously written off may be someone to follow.

"Gossip Girl Here..."

Anyone watch the latest Gossip Girl episode (American series that makes you lose 20 points of your IQ each time you watch it but that is the guilty pleasure of women everywhere)?

See around 10:30

Blair Waldorf is getting a personal fitting for a Reem Acra dress in her NYC atelier. At first I thought the lady doing the fitting was Reem but it's not.

Despite the fact that I despise that I watch this made-for-teens-glorified-soap-opera, this is absolutely huge for Reem, Gossip Girl is THE show to watch right now, and abolsutely sets the trends for fashion.

Having grown up in NYC myself I would, for the record, like to tell any GG fans out there that this is NOT at all how real people live in the city; but then again that would be why this show is so popular

You go Reem!

Baba Saab & Mama Acra

Paris Fashion week is going on! (And wouldn't you know it, right before I head off to Paris myself!)

I called Elie Saab and asked him to postpone his fashion show for a few days until I get there, but he apologized, something about finding another venue in time....

Anyway, even though I couldn't go, doesn't mean no one did. (Shocking, I know) Kanye West, actress Mischa Barton and glamour girl Dita von Teese were all there representin' for me:

To see a slideshow of his dresses from the runway show, go here:

Also, just to keep you updated on who's been recently wearing my 2 favorite designers:

Actress January Jones from Mad Men in Elie Saab

Actress Gabrielle Union in Reem Acra

Mischa Barton in Elie Saab at the Elie Saab fashion show in Paris

Angelina Jolie in Reem Acra

Maybe Reem and Elie will see this and take pity on me and send me a dress? Or how bout you two just adopt me? Please?!

Reem, Elie--i love you!

Lebanese Designers on the Red Carpet

Who watched the Golden Globes last night?? I definitely did--who thinks Leo and Kate should be a real life couple? I mean he had tears in his eyes when she won--and what's up with her fugly husband?? (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005222/)

Anyway, if you tuned in early to watch the red carpet and see who was wearing what, you may have noticed that Lebanese designers Reem Acra and Elie Saab made more than one appearance:

Rumer Willis (Miss Golden Globes) in Reem Acra:

Olivia Wilde (from House) in Reem Acra:

Eva Longoria in Reem Acra:

Laura Linney in Elie Saab:

And Beyonce, who ALWAYS wears Elie, in Elie Saab:

Not a bad night for the Lebanese, eh?
