Images for reference only Power, Play and Pleasure
This summer, the ELIE SAAB READY-TO-WEAR SS26 woman sets off for bold new horizons exuding natural glamour and timeless cool. Ready for anything, impelled by a spirit of freedom and adventure, her ease, confidence and fluidity are expressed in every detail of her attire.
Whether she’s embarking on a day of power, play, pleasure — or all three — her style seamlessly adapts. Crisp tailoring meets flowing fabrics as she mixes and matches looks with intuitive élan. With a heroine this fearless, expect the unexpected: minimalist co-ords pair with platforms; brocade glows with bronze tones; a classic gown transcends convention with a shimmering ombre fringe. Colours echo treasures discovered off the beaten track, saturating silk, leather and canvas in shades of nude, umber, saffron and stone. Prints clash and combine with breezy abandon, while python winds through her wardrobe as a signature motif: strong on a structured trench, sensual on a chiffon dress, subtle in an earring’s delicate curve. Rules are there to be broken but every combination feels perfectly balanced, whether she’s teaming an airy top with a pencil skirt or pairing sandals with a pristine power suit.
Accessories are the lynchpin of this effortless attitude. From shoes to bags, lizard print works hard from morning to night in tonal browns with pops of yellow and red. Soft totes and light baguettes suggest a carefree traveller always about to move on. Bold belts pull together beautifully simple two-pieces. And however elevated the occasion, an armful of wood and metal bangles underlines her irreverence.
Inspired by the world, designed for the ever-shifting rhythms of contemporary life, ELIE SAAB READY-TO-WEAR SS26 is a vibrant and versatile collection for the woman who leaves an indelible impression everywhere she goes.
