Fashion L'amour

Elie Saab | Couture | Paris | SS22

ELIE SAAB Haute Couture Spring/Summer 22, named “EDEN ON EARTH” is an ode to the Mediterranean, a landscape that has produced an evolution of beauty, heritage, and charm; a landscape that has always provided simple solace and joy to ELIE SAAB, who continuously finds a trove of muse and vision in its unfailing abundance. With its wild bougainvillea that bloom vivacity wherever they climb and its deep blue sea that glistens as it flirts with luminous rays of golden sun, this idyllic picturesque is a taste of EDEN ON EARTH.

Collection features bright spectrum of colours splash across a panorama of silhouettes that take us on a marvellous journey. Gradients of capacious feathered ballgowns capture the magic of the in between moments of dusk and dawn, as the sun tints the skyline in celestial blues and sea green. Shimmery sequins and crystals embellish the tulle of night, guiding the exploration across a vast geography of plunging necklines and mermaid tails. Layers of fuchsia, blush and chartreuse taffeta explode into large off-the-shoulder rose petals and peony bouquets that exaggerate organic feminine curves.
