Elie Saab

Channelling the style and attitude of the modern woman, the Elie Saab SS18 haute couture collection presents elegant gowns created in homage to the independent and liberated ‘Parisienne’. Influences delved back to the 1920’s, with modern-day versions of Art Deco dressing. These bold geometric prints were amplified further with heavily encrusted embellishment and lavish adornments, expressing jewellery-like opulence.

 

Created with freedom of movement in mind, the pieces in this collection show off long, impossibly refined, and graceful lines. Soft and airy silk, satin, tulle, and lace in pastel hues drape effortlessly whilst still framing the feminine silhouette, enhanced by the fluttering of feathers. Whether bare or decorated in embroidery, shoulders were accentuated, while necklines plunged, all further accentuating the feminine form.  

 

Accessories were just as spectacular, from cloche hats adorning perfectly coiffed heads, to bold yet refined headpieces, earrings, belts, necklaces, and cuffs. Clutches were equally statement, either covered in perfectly linear patterns of diamond-like studs and baguettes, wrapped in a coat of slim, champagne gold and silver chains, or jewel studded with the Elie Saab monogram design.
