Shades of sequins and dresses with trains disclose the couturier’s signature style. An abundance of pearls sculpt the embroideries, such as black on a grey-blue muslin, gold on a transparent skin colour, and orange on champagne muslin. The range of tones vary ever season, though salmon pink already part of the summer 2015 colour trend, is very present from this winter on, harmonized with deep red sequins. Black is made light using transparence and sequin or bead embroideries. The bride is an apparition, as he says himself. Elie Saab focuses all of his talent onto this sublime woman, photographed on the red carpet and who can’t help but shine. He also introduces THE most princess wedding dress in this week of haute-couture. Interview: Elie Saab : I always have the magical woman in my head, it’s about embellishing the woman, that’s my biggest obsession in my career. Each time I try to present different feminine codes. This time I tried hard to emphasize every kind of embroidery, the savoir-faire of the house and especially the history of cotton and silk thread, mixed together to give this guipure lightness through the effects of the embroidery. I really try each time to show what we are known for, but in a different way. It’s a collection with a lot of dresses with pearls. They represent the lighting of evening disco balls, when you drink a little, that was the idea surrounding the pearls. And we really used this on a lot of pieces this time. Music from the show
