Couture Week is among the most awaited times of the year. Not only we get blessed with inspiring street style looks, but we also witness the most iconic fashion shows ever, and Elie Saab’s runway is definitely on top of the list.
Elie Saab Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2021-22 is a blissful season of flowering plenty, and every distinct silhouette a promise of growth. An impressionist at heart, Lebanese designer Elie Saab manifests the world as he sees it, as he wants it to be. Each gown is generously sewn with daring seeds of hope, drawing a future abundant with possibility.
The collection is a bright, hopeful reminder that a new day has dawned, that an eternal spring has arrived, and yes, we love the house’s romantic and feminine vibes.
In the details of the collection, we saw feathers of every color of the spectrum fluttering together to create grand bouquets ball gowns and bombers that softly rustle and sway, like fields in light wind.
Beaded petals organically vine through imaginary gardens of pastel muslins and organza, delicately redefining feminine curves. Smooth black and red velvets hug contours in alternating waves of opaque and transparency, while chartreuse silk is overlaid in flowing layers of rolling optimism. Three-dimensional flowers stem out of neck and shoulder lines, taking couture to fresh, new terrains of lavish textures, generous volumes and captivating forms.
Nature takes over and flora runs wild, metamorphosing into ornate foliage headpieces and rose-bow belts. Bold taffeta asymmetric gowns with oversized off-the-shoulder in saturated reds, blues, pinks and plum, fade into soft off-white and pastel crepe capes that train in the ethereal moment. The celestial blue bride glides in on cascades of embroidered floral lace, emanating a perennial kind of hope.
The Elie Saab Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2021-22 is a world where flowers perpetually flourish, reflecting a strong desire for new life. It is a world where dreams are born to take-off and thrive.
