Wandering through the maze of a crowded Marrakech market, drinking in the cacophony of colors from the lanterns, shoes and clothing with a magical wind whipping through the Moroccan air. You snap out of your day dream only to realize you are watching the blush pink chiffon clouds and lilac blue crepe knits fly past you on the runway of Elie Saab’s Haute Couture Spring/Summer 24. The breath of Marrakech lingers amongst the pieces and with it an aroma of amber and sandalwood.
Elie Saab’s new pieces feature a series of metallic knits, silk thread tresses and ornate engraved portico. A golden foliage compliments a royal bridal train and beaded mermaid tails swims down the runway. The collection invites everyone to experience the enchantment of a Marakkech market in its magical couture. Illusions of layers, dew kissed florals and vibrant mosaics leave you with an illusion of nostalgia for a place you have never seen.
