Elhadji Gueye

Designer Elhadji Gueye is born in Senegal and raised in Paris, France. He acts with a deep respect for heritage, tradition, communities, and the planet. A third-generation master tailor, he was mentored by his father and later by Gianni Versace. He was also credited with designing one of the most recognizable fashion silhouettes in cinematic history. His boutique and showroom at 77 East Van Buren in Chicago, Illinois, showcases his creative journey—textured, elite, and opulent as the materials he works with.

To give nothing but the best to his clients, Elhadji Gueye uses only the most luxurious fabrics to create a garment that is made-to-measure and designed to fit like a second skin while showcasing a person's authentic personal image. It is Maison de Haj's mission to represent the men and women whose greatness needs no explanation.
