AP – The Lebanese designer’s collection came with dramatic flair, strikingly at midnight, enveloping the audience in a welcome dark mood.
Models in black leather opera gloves and graphic bands of black satin set the tone.
Men’s couture capes, part of Saab’s theme since 2022, were embroidered with sequins and gleaming threads, resembling silver foliage kissed by morning dew.
Saab’s opulent men’s couture line continues to add a new dimension to his brand, catering to a market segment that craves visibility.
In the predominantly women’s display, organza whooshes swirled upward from the waist in a feat of artistry.
As the collection progressed, the colour palette softened. Tried-and-tested floor-length silhouettes dazzled in gemstone hues.
A standout piece was a shoulderless gown in powder red, where sequins on the bodice morphed into a sea of feathers cascading down the mermaid-like skirt.
The transformation of textures underscored Saab’s craftsmanship.
While Saab’s designs may not always break the mold in innovation or surprise, the commitment to his signature style ensures that his creations remain timeless.
His starry clientele appreciates the red carpet-ready classicism.
