This is maybe the best RTW collection ever from Elie Saab.
It’s sexy, perfectly executed and I think his culture made possible for him to totally understand the way African women dress and the way to mix it with his aesthetic that has became global but that was first for women of his region.
Traditional outfits (Not toi mistake with Folklore that has very inspired Western fashion) requires a sense of restrain elegance. Those are the outfits that are made by the tailor for a special occasion and it’s mostly always about a long and lean silhouette...Almost royal and Elie did it wonderfully here.
It’s so luxurious, simple, effective and timeless. And I love how this has a 70’s kind of flair. It’s a much more layered than what it seems and it’s perfect.
Despite Elie Saab not being my personal taste, this is one of my favorite collection of the season. I can see so many people that I know wearing this!
It’s fantastic!
