In 2018, Zoey Deutch stunned onlookers in an Elie Saab archival gown with vintage details. The archive piece was embellished with silver silk threads, sequins and vintage beads from Mr. Saab’s Beirut atelier.

The embroidery techniques used are passed on from one generation to another.
Lakeith Stanfield wore an ethical tuxedo by Ermenegildo Zegna Couture to support the campaign made from a navy Tussah Silk.
