Elie Saab’s latest collection, titled Hymn À la Vie, not only brought a touch of raw opulence to the breathtaking Lebanese mountains but also showcased the designer’s exquisite designs in a truly unique setting. The collection was unveiled at Paris Fashion Week through a mesmerizing 5-minute cinematic video that beautifully captured the essence of the Lebanese landscape – from the towering rocks to the serene high-altitude prairies.
Despite being entirely designed, made, shot, and edited in Lebanon, Saab’s collection made a splash on the international fashion stage. The video featured stunning views of the Lebanese mountains, with models gracefully wandering among granite boulders and majestic mountain scenery. Saab shared that his inspiration behind the collection stemmed from the stark beauty of the rocks juxtaposed with the lush femininity of his garments.
For the upcoming spring/summer season, Elie Saab presents a diverse range of stunning pieces that are sure to captivate fashion enthusiasts worldwide. The collection includes white jumpsuits, A-line dresses, chiffon gowns adorned with intricate golden beading, and marabou feather accents. Additionally, Saab introduces mannish shirts with bouffant sleeves, crystal-embroidered blouses, and elegant eveningwear pieces embellished with Phoenician gold jewelry.
The captivating video, directed by Mounia Akl and set to a soundtrack from Ukrainian folk quartet DakhaBrakha, perfectly encapsulates Saab’s creative vision. The harmonious blend of nature’s rugged beauty with the sophistication of his designs creates a mesmerizing visual experience that celebrates life and optimism.
As Elie Saab gears up for his upcoming collections in Milan and Paris, the success of his latest showcase at Paris Fashion Week has already generated significant interest from buyers. With a powerful message of hope and positivity, Saab’s collection offers a glimmer of joy and happiness in the midst of a challenging year.
