The collection, titled A GLAMOUR OF YORE, takes inspiration from regal figures and iconic films set in medieval times. Imagining the likes of Cate Blanchet in Elizabeth, Sophie Marceau in Braveheart, Kiera Knightly in The Duchess, Marion Cotillard in Macbeth, Charlize Theron in Snow White and the Huntsman, Isabelle Adjani in La Reine Margot, and Angelina Jolie in Maleficent, ELIE SAAB creates a mesmerizing narrative that retells legends and tales.

They embody a serene wisdom and quiet fortitude, with their generous spirits revealed through poised and structured silhouettes. Within this collection, striking complexities come to life, showcased through mesmerizing jeweled details in shades of ruby, amethyst, and emerald. The use of draped velvets adds a layer of mystery and depth to the garments. Tudor sequined roses and flower branches intricately adorn the necks and caped shoulders, creating a blooming armory of romantic strength. Dignified gold and sparkling crystal beads gracefully intertwine with braids and tresses, forming corsets that sensually trail behind like sands of time made of delicate mousseline fabric.

The collection features dramatic capes crafted from crystalized crepe and velvet dentelle, creating an impressive layer that wraps around matching gowns, enveloping them in an enchanting aura of mystery. Pearl drops and gilded bees traverse through wild fields of embroidered foliage, finding their way into suited gothic ensembles that exude versatile strength. Wispy blush feathers gracefully sway alongside sparkling sequins, creating whimsical and almost transparent fantasies. Finally, in a lasting vision, the captivating brides leave behind a plush trail of embroidery, radiating a captivating magnetism.
