*SS17; Major Moment | Elie Saab
Lebanese designer Elie Saab is k.n.o.w.n. for being a master of the red carpet. His designs, often ethereal and precious -for lack of a better word, bring both class and glamor to any woman lucky enough to wear one of his gowns.
And while Saab’s collections usually walk on the more mature side -see here-, the designer has found a way to switch it up for 2017.
Saab reminisces about the 70s…
(…which thinking about it could also sound a bit drab.)
But, his inspiration is the fun 70s!
Bright, disco, starry-eyed 70s!
The designer who felt a personal connection to the theme, having grown up in the decade, took it and ran with it!
This was a disco dance party!
There were stars everywhere – down to the twinkling of the glitter strewn runway!
…stars on jackets, embroidered on skirts..on sleeves, on inserts, even on bags!
Saab had fun with this collection, and all in attendance could tell.
His girl this season is glitzy and fun, ready for a night out.
And of course having this season’s crop of “It”-and-Instagram-active Models – Gigi Hadid, Karlie Kloss, Hailey Baldwin and a few of the newly-winged VS Angels – doesn’t hurt.
And Saab too should partake in the festivities!
He has found a way to stay fresh, distinguishing himself from other couturiers-to-ready-to-wear designers, while still remaining true to his aesthetic.
And that is something that should be celebrated!
See the rest of the collection here.
Enjoy!
