I have recently been drawn towards the work of Elie Saab, the Lebanese fashion designer who has in my opinion produced an exquisite pre fall line of clothing. His pieces are beautifully made with so much detail and embellishment. These combined elements creates gorgeous aesthetically pleasing clothing. The correlation of fabrics and textures Saab has used creates graceful and elegant lines with a feminine edge. This collection seems to focus on long, flowing skirts, soft tactile fur coats and accessories as well as floral patterns and materials, this emulates a folk inspired feel and styling of the garments. Black lace mixed with lavish purple and reds. I particularly like the fusion of feminine yet bold flattering designs. In addition, the cut and fit of the Saabs designs are striking and impressive, leaving a lasting effect, he perfectly captures the essence of fall and winter vibes mirroring the colours, textures and patterns associated with the changing of the seasons. Key statement pieces such as the fur coats and jackets are cinched in at the waist to show womanly shape and figure. Saab wished to covey the modern day women's strong minded self with a soft feminine touch by adding folk vibes and style, I believe he certainly achieved this. Floral motifs create a romantic look to Saabs incredibly detailed floor length skirt, which incorporates digitally decorative flower impressions. It reminds me of painted masterpieces you might find in an art gallery.
