The Elie Saab Spring/Summer 2014 show at Paris Fashion Week was a romantic, lace-filled affair. Saab’s daytime looks were delicate, airy, feminine concoctions in delicious hues like breathy pinks, crispy whites and forest nymph greens. The designer offered frocks with flirty hems, ornate lace gowns and sheer materials. However, the evening wear got a bit more dramatic featuring bold red hues, night-time sparkle, even shorter hemlines and plunging necklines.
This versatile collection includes dreamy day looks and some show-stopping evening numbers that will help you make an entrance no one will forget. For instance, one could make a statement in décolleté, featuring a black dress dripping with gemstones, or a corset-inspired lace top with a full tulle skirt. On the other hand, one could just as easily host a garden tea party in a lacy A-line pink dress.
