DESIGNER Focus

The humble man that he is, he made sure that he constantly mentioned his team and their efforts every time he spoke about his business. Never once did he even try to take the entire credit of the designs that I was fawning over. He spoke about the little things that make the collection stand out and the length he and his team go to in order to achieve that. Whether it is his favourite jumpsuit from his Maharani collection or his Qatari clients’ love for his style, this guy knows exactly how to treat his audience. He spoke of his own culture with a new zest and I saw his love for Lebanon reflect in his body language. A suddenly excited Naja talked about how his childhood and everything around him inspired him to achieve the status he has today. Believing that fashion and art can give a country an identity, an image in the world, Naja Saade is what I believe to be a creative genius with the most humblest of souls.

Naja Saade collections are exclusively available at Fifty One East and their Bridal Lounge.
