During Paris Couture Week Fall/Winter 2024, Elie Saab transported his audience into a dark fantasy as models adorned in black gowns, leather opera gloves, and sleek bands of satin set a tone that was both a bold and elegant collection. The designer introduced a bold edge with leather opera-length gloves, adding a touch of toughness to his usually feminine silhouettes.
The all-black looks gradually extended to deep greens, purples, and burgundy before transitioning to blush pink, champagne gold, and silver for the finale. Breathtaking details like feathers, fringes, scintillating embellishments, and crystals were meticulously affixed to the garments, highlighting the Lebanese designer’s craftsmanship. This season, Saab embraced sleek columns and trumpet skirts over princess shapes, maintaining volume in a fresh way. Inspired by Russian Khokhloma art, he used vivid floral designs on dark backgrounds, with vines twisting up bodices and bustiers flaring out for dramatic effect. Further, Saab continued to redefine men’s couture with capes embroidered with sequins and shimmering threads—a striking addition to his repertoire since 2022.
