Historical Context

Elie Saab rose to global prominence after Halle Berry wore his burgundy gown to the 2002 Academy Awards. The brand remains a staple for major celebrities; recently, Beyoncé and Zendaya have been spotted in Saab’s fall 2026 designs. Founded in Beirut in 1982, the house has grown from a bridal specialist to a major international couture label. H&M’s creative advisor, Ann-Sofie Johansson, noted that the collaboration celebrates the designer's rich history and transition into the global fashion scene. This partnership follows H&M's history of luxury collaborations with houses like Versace and Balmain. The collection is currently available through H&M's online portal and at select physical retail locations.
