STORYLINE:
This season, Elie Saab’s fall collection blossomed with dramatic flair, enveloping the audience in a welcome dark mood in Paris, Wednesday.
Models clad in black leather opera gloves and graphic bands of black satin set a powerful tone.
Men’s couture capes, part of Saab’s ongoing theme since fall 2022, were impressively embroidered with sequins and gleaming threads, resembling silver foliage kissed by morning dew. Saab’s opulent and flamboyant men’s couture line continues to add a new dimension to his brand, catering to a market segment that craves visibility and attention.
In the predominantly women’s display, organza whooshes swirled organically upward from the waist in a feat of artistry. As the collection progressed, the color palette softened. His tried-and-tested classical floor-length silhouettes dazzled in the hues of precious gemstones.
A standout piece was a shoulderless gown in powder red, where sequins on the bodice seamlessly morphed into a sea of feathers cascading down the mermaid-like skirt. This transformation of textures underscored Saab’s craftsmanship.
While Saab’s designs may not always break the mold in terms of innovation or surprise, his commitment to his signature style ensures that his creations remain timeless. This consistency caters to a starry clientele that appreciates red carpet-ready classicism.
Stars like Ellie Goulding applauded from the front row, their admiration a testament to Saab’s enduring appeal.
