From a sun-drenched, gilded showroom, the Elie Saab Resort 2019 transported us to a seaside suite in St.-Tropez.

The collection feature an eye-catching ruffled dresses in black or white broderie anglaise, billowing chiffon and lace T-shirt gowns printed with giant poppies, micro-sequin bombers over-embroidered with flowers, a gauzy gingham skirt, and a fringed suede jacket. All that elegance, shimmer, and transparency were exactly what you would expect from Saab transferring his women off the red carpet and into some luxury setting.

The French Riviera meets 1970s is the theme which gave way to a little retro-infused line up with an A-line dress covered in plastic daisy embellishment, silk headscarves, and flared pantsuits—this haute boho vibe was just another way to signal posh trappings. Relaxed style is more relative than you might think; in Elie Saab terms, thigh-high boots, floor-sweeping tulle, and metallic sequin tunics all qualify as components of a versatile wardrobe. Here the mind paused, wondering whether the majority of these flower-power gowns and rainbow sequin–striped cocktail dresses.’
A first for the Maison, the collection featured a denim grouping with crisp dark jeans, jacket, and jumpsuit do not imply some new entry-level strategy. Rather, they now exist so that women can dedicate even more closet space to Elie Saab.
