# Feminine Uni-Colored Couture The Elie Saab Fall 2013 Proved You Don’t Need to Mix Colors By Sarah St.Jules | Published 2013-07-23 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elie-saab-fall-2013 References: [style](http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/F2013CTR-ESAAB) Very few designers are more famous for their ability to capture femininity; the Elie Saab Fall 2013 couture runway showed that Saab is still the master of the female body. Saab kept this collection truly feminine, with long, flowy dresses, jewels and opulent fabrics. The most interesting feature of this collection was the lack of combined colors. Even though there were many different colors in the show, none of them were mixed on the same outfit. Tone on tone was used, providing a soft effect for the dresses. The models looked elegant with simple makeup and side-swept hair. The Ellie Saab Fall 2013 runway proved that Saab is still the master of the feminine form, and that color blocking is not needed in order to look fabulous. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Feminine Uni-colored Couture:** The use of single colors in couture fashion creates a refined and elegant look. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion and Apparel:** Fashion brands can explore the use of single colors to create visually stunning collections. - **Jewelry:** Jewelry designers can collaborate with couture brands to create accessories that complement the uni-colored couture trend. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Modern High-Fashion Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terani-couture.md) - [Whimsical Feminine Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Timelessly Charming Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mi-amor-collection.md) - [Couture Color Palettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantone-dualities.md) - [Contemporary Femininity Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Minimalist Gallery Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-springsummer-2024.md)
