THE SWAN

Through the Resort 2024 collection, the ELIE SAAB woman elusively drifts live a swan. She is the striking expression of a soft glamour; airy in movement and profound in mystique. Confident in prints and subdued splashes of color, all her outfits exude a natural elegance. The ELIE SAAB woman is strong, poise and majestic, effortlessly creating herself in this magical collection. She gracefully glides in the image of collection inspiration and original swan Marella Agnelli and the spirit of the Mediterranean.
Muted jewel tones, crisp silhouettes and diverse textures come together in three distinct moods that move through demure galas, urban garden parties and the cosmopolitan jet set. The ELIE SAAB woman seamlessly dances through each tableau with refined ease. Warm metallic yarn-embroidered party rompers and beaded strapless midi dresses are illuminating. Moonshadow white crepe peplum tops and jackets bring a touch of playful feminine volume to more fitted contours. Fresh oversized floral prints blossom into large billowing cotton capes with matching flowered shorts and crop tops. A collection-defining pale rose ombré silk kaftan emphasizes effortless movement.
Midnight black jersey drapes into long dresses with high defined slits and scalloped plunging necklines finely outlined in glistening chain. Minimalist lines are emboldened in vibrant bursts of red tweed and Denver green crepe.Lush greens, aquamarines and purple crush drape and pleat into quintessential ELIE SAAB silk robes and gradient tailored pant suits, with delicate monogram brooch accents.
Fog and powder white knit into a radiant striped dress with short bishop sleeves. Gradient monogram embroideries petal across the skirts of pastel halter gowns and across the necklines of white shirt kaftans. Platform mules in colored satin and wood elongate each silhouette to emphasize sophisticated bearing, while plexiglass minaudières in translucent tones add a breath of contemporary flare.
