Elie Saab Embarks on a Fashion Journey to Mexico
Celebrating the rich heritage and vibrant culture of Mexico, Elie Saab transported fashion lovers on a journey south of the border with his latest collection. The runway show was set to the enchanting sounds of Latin singer Leo Dan’s Te He Prometido, creating an atmosphere of elegance and charm.
Saab’s designs paid homage to Mexico in a unique way, channeling opulent grace and sophistication that stood out from the traditional gritty aesthetic associated with the country. Instead of focusing on stereotypes, the collection captured the essence of a mythical lady receiving an invitation to a grand event at Chapultepec Castle in Mexico.
The garments that glided down the runway were a stunning display of luxury and artistry, with lavish gold and ivory gowns stealing the spotlight. Adorned with intricate golden beadwork and featuring puff shoulders, enormous trains, and a French-inspired style, each piece was a masterpiece fit for royalty.
The setting of the show at the Galerie Courbe in the Grand Palais provided the perfect backdrop for Saab’s creations. Against the backdrop of rough brick walls, the vibrant hues of turquoise, coral, mint, and pink popped, showcasing Saab’s skillful use of faille silk fabric.
One of the standout moments of the show was a spectacular silvery princess bride, exuding Mexican-inspired extravagance with a grand train and oversized mantilla. The audience erupted in applause, reaffirming Elie Saab’s reputation as a master of haute couture in Paris.
With this captivating collection, Elie Saab proved once again that he is a true visionary, blending culture, luxury, and sophistication in a way that captivates and inspires. It was a journey to Mexico unlike any other, leaving a lasting impression on all who were fortunate enough to witness it.
