BOUNDARIES
2013
ABDULLAH ALSAAB Born in 1986, Abdullah Al-Saab has been working since he was 13 years old in diverse places. He carries a Bachelor’s in Interior Design and a Minor in Psychology, which has allowed his vision to evolve in a unique manner. He started designing clothes in 2008 with his first fashion line, and since then his passion for design has taken him to explore the world of fashion, so that his clothes tell a story with a vision. Abdullah currently teaches interior design and plans to continue to design fashion in collaboration with art.
COLLABORATION
OF ART AND FASHION We reached a point in our time where fashion became an art by itself, Abdullah Al-Saab brand is a new concept of fashion where contemporary art is combined with fashion, it’s an educational/inspiring concept that educates people about contemporary art and sees it moving in a form of fashion. Abdullah Al Saab creates very inspiring collections with his vision that always tells a story that everyone can relate to in every fashion season. The art reflects the designers‘ vision of the story and help complement his designs.
“Boundaries are made to guide us, not to limit us.�
Boundaries is an exhibition by conceptual designer Abdullah Al Saab showcasing an exclusively designed clothing line along with a bold photographic series by Djinane Alsuwayeh. Together, the pieces fuse fashion and art to create bold statements on social issues in the region today. The images also represent hope; for it is through the acknowledgement of such issues we are able to create a positive future for the country.
