This season, Elie Saab pays homage to fragile elegance by exploring degrees of transparency over silky skin, in ivory and touches of pink gold with poppy accents and clouds of mauve tulle, and in lace of varying opacity, sometimes enveloped by a fluid cape.
Pale pink dress, embellished in Baroque motifs and bijou collar slips like a second skin. While, a silhouette in georgette makes a modern statement with impressionistic sequins and neo-Baroque motifs etched in jet. Lace petals and floral motifs blend with abstract forms to create a rich visual tableau, punctuated by a copper-coloured train in shantung silk. The brides emerge in a crystalline cloud of champagne lace, an infinitely graceful vision of delicateness.
