Elie Saab is a Lebanese fashion designer who opened his first atelier in 1982 in Beirut. He focuses on haute couture but also expanded into ready-to-wear clothing. In the 1990s, he opened larger facilities in Beirut and Europe. By the 2000s, he had stores in Paris, London, Dubai, and elsewhere. While haute couture made up most sales initially, ready-to-wear became more popular over time. The company must address declining interest in haute couture and increasing competition in ready-to-wear through tactics like expanding product lines and markets, particularly in Asia, and promoting through celebrity endorsements and online sales.

In 2021, the global denim fabric market was valued at approximately $18.1 billion. The global lingerie retail market was valued at $43.2 billion in 2020, and is forecast to reach a value of $84.2 billion in 2028.

Supplying Fast Fashion
Garment retailing has changed. No longer is there a standard look that all retailers adhere to for
a whole season. Fashion is fast, complex and furious. Different trends overlap and fashion ideas
that are not even on a store’s radar screen can become “must haves” within six months. Many
retail businesses with their own brands, such as H&M and Zara, sell up-to-the-minute
fashionability at low prices, in stores that are clearly focused on one particular market. In the
world of fast fashion, catwalk designs speed their way into high-street stores at prices anyone
can afford. The quality of the garment means that it may only last one season, but fast-fashion
customers don’t want yesterday’s trends. As Newsweek puts it, “being a quicker picker-upper” is
what made fashion retailers H&M and Zara successful. They thrive by practicing the new science
of “fast fashion”, compressing product development cycles as much as six times. But the retail
operations that customers see are only the end part of the supply chains that feeds them. And
these have also changed.
At its simplest level, the fast-fashion supply chain has four stages. First, the garments are
designed, after which they are manufactured. They are then distributed to the retail outlets,
where they are displayed and sold in retail operations designed to reflect the busi.

Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.

2. ABOUT SAAB
Born in Beirut
Developed an interest of dress making in early age
At age nine, he made clothes of his sisters with the use of
curtains and table clothes
Opened his first atelier in Beirut in 1982
Began designing luxurious evening gowns and wedding
dresses
3. AS A DESIGNER
Focused on Haute Couture
In the 1990s, moved to a larger atelier in Beirut and organized
exclusive fashion shows in Europe
Opened a salon and showroom in Paris in 2000 and a flagship
store in Paris opened in March 2007
ES opened its first U.K. boutique at Harrods in July 2008
In June 2010, he opened its first flagship store in Dubai’s
prestigious Dubai Mall
4. GOAL OF THE COMPANY
"Attract, select and maintain customers who place
significance on high-end, one-of-a-kind designs made
from the finest fabrics and materials”
5. EXHIBITS
Exhibit 2 highlights the quantity of millionaires by country
World’s high-net-worth individuals (HNWI) grew 17% to 10
million in 2009 despite a contraction in world gross domestic
product (GDP).
The highest change is shown in Australia while other important
figure to be mentioned is 23.8% in United Kingdom
Exhibit 3 shows the public relation and marketing expense as
percentage of sale of year 2008. The highest amount is 87.4% of
Fashion Shows, which means that highest number of
advertisement is done through fashion shows
6. Exhibit 4 shows that in 2006 Haute Couture; the highly
personalized and customized product of the brand made the
major chunk of the sales revenue making 60 percent of the
sales as compared to 40 percent made by ready to wear (RTW)
and accessories.
After 2006 there was a change in the break-up of the sales
revenue as RTW brought in higher sales as compared to Haute
Couture
In 2007 RTW accounted for 54 percent of the total sales
whereas Haute Couture made 46 percent and the following
year that is 2008, RTW made 59 percent and Haute Couture 41
percent
7. Strengths
Well established brand.
Direct ownership of stores (except for Dubai)
One of the few certified couture house
Weaknesses
Weak presence in multi brand shops
Specifically restricted to luxury clothing line
Poor Current Ratio
Still low sales in Asia and Russia
8. Opportunities
Rise in high-net-worth-individuals (HNWI)
Immense potential in Asia (Increasing number of millionaires)
Online sale of RTW
Threats
Decline in Haute Couture
Tapping the affluent
middle class
Changing clothing trends
To mix luxury and affordability
Casual dressing on the rise
Upcoming competitors in RTW line
9. PROBLEMS
Change in trends
In US, ladies endorsed the brand by wearing couture day wear
to luncheons, parties and events while women in the Middle
east and Russia did not showcase these dresses thus defeating
the purpose of advertisement through word of mouth
Change in preferences and trends which were changing from
class unique handmade clothing to clothing line which was
more casual
Competitors were shifting into the ready to wear field and
giving tough time to the company
10. SOLUTIONS
The industry is facing a downward trend and this is an external
factor to ES, thus combating this fall requires an extra effort.
Opening a slightly less extravagant line, within the existing
haute couture line, can provide a cushion with the new line
On the ready to wear part, the company can beat other new
competitors by increasing its volume as it is offering its ready
to wear line at selected places only
11. There was an upsurge in HNWI from year 2008 to
2009, especially in China, where millionaires grew by 31%
from 2008 to 2009. Thus, China is a lucrative market for ES to
tap
ES should also adopt an online business model for the RTW
line. Prospective customers should be able to buy select RTW
things online
There is a shift in trend from luxury clothing to more casual
clothing where Customers nowadays are well informed and
seek value for money in every purchase; hence ES should seek
to expand his RTW line
12. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Since Elie Saab is planning for further expansion both globally
and their product portfolio they need to be extra cautious about it
because the brand name is at stake
Asian market serves as a potential interest but there are number of
other factors that have to be considered including the distribution
channel
As far as the product portfolio is concerned the management
should keep adding products but they need to keep Haute Couture
as their core product since the brand is known from this highly
customized premium offering
From an advertising perspective the company should make more
use of celebrity endorsements to further enhance its image as a
premium product
