"Elie Saab's first look announcing the collection’s laser focus on gossamer
fabrics and floral embroideries that glistened with sequins and
crystals, like dew on a hedge. As that ditty about little boxes on the
hillside goes — “there’s a green one and a pink one and a blue one and a
yellow one” — so went this lengthy show, whose color story was more
wedding or garden party than Oscar night.
All the blossoms and sugary tones gave this collection a young, even girly spirit. Short, vaguely Fifties cocktail dresses with flaring skirts were a newer shape for Saab, and surely will appeal to the junior Hollywood set. Some had rosette embroideries that hugged the shoulders.
But gowns are Saab’s sweet spot, and in addition to sinuous,
barely-there hourglass styles, were sharper, X-shaped silhouettes, the
waist pinched with skinny leather belts. In a respite from flowers, some
dresses displayed more graphic embroidery motifs that resembled
fireworks. While cutout backs and veiled legs added a frisson of sex
appeal to some looks, this was a client-focused parade of styles
flattering to figures and complexions." (WWD)
