Saab’s latest collection showcases his renowned expertise in intricate embroideries, where decorative intricacy intertwines seamlessly with the simplicity and flattering shapes of his designs. Instead of pushing the boundaries of avant-garde forms, Saab remains devoted to timeless canons of aesthetic allure, a quality that continues to resonate with his discerning clientele.
This collection draws inspiration from medieval-era period films, a time when opulence wasn’t necessarily paramount. However, Saab skillfully transforms the modest lines of capes, trailing trains, and décolletages from that era into a lavish and dramatic celebration of luxury. Delicate chiffon gowns adorned with sequined embroideries, often accompanied by matching capes or veils, radiate a newfound luminosity under Saab’s creative touch.
Intermingled among these are soft-pink chiffon dresses, richly silver-embroidered, and cape dresses in dramatic black velvet adorned with an abundance of pearls. Amidst this, a series of plain-colored gowns in luxurious emerald green velvet or amethyst silk duchesse exude a sumptuous appeal. Notably absent of excessive embellishments, these designs highlight Saab’s skill in crafting silhouette-flattering, softly draped forms, showcasing his ability to create captivating shapes while deviating from his signature ornamental extravagance.
