The Elie Saab Spring 2012 collection is a more subtle reflection of the Lebanese designer's Fall 2011 couture line that debuted earlier this summer. Similar to the haute couture line, the Spring 2012 collection featured incredible sequins adorning [evening gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcqueen-holiday-2025) from head to toe, adding an undeniable glamorous appeal to the dresses. Plunging necklines and thigh high slits made an appearance at the Elie Saab Spring 2012 show, as they do in most of the designer's collections. Somehow though, Elie Saab always presents provocative and skin-baring gowns with the utmost elegance. These dresses will surely make an appearance on many red carpets this awards show season. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Blush-toned Fashion:** The use of blush tones in fashion collections presents an opportunity for brands to tap into the feminine and elegant aesthetic. - **Sequin Adornments:** The incorporation of sequins as a design element in evening gowns offers a chance for designers to create glamorous and eye-catching garments. - **Provocative Elegance:** The combination of provocative elements, such as plunging necklines and thigh-high slits, with an elegant presentation allows designers to create garments that are both daring and refined. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore the use of blush tones and sequin embellishments in their collections to cater to consumer preferences for elegant and glamorous garments. - **Eveningwear:** The eveningwear industry can capitalize on the trend of combining provocative and elegant elements in their designs, catering to customers looking for statement dresses. - **Red Carpet Fashion:** The red carpet fashion industry can anticipate the use of blush tones and sequin details in dresses, offering celebrities and stylists a range of elegant yet eye-catching options for awards shows and events. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Whimsical Spring Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025.md) - [Whimsical Feminine Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow.md) - [Spring Fashion Blooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reformation-spring-2025.md) - [Timelessly Charming Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mi-amor-collection.md) - [Intimate Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-springsummer-2026.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Intricate Bridal Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heli-kalkstein.md) - [Stunning Luxe Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxe-bridal.md) - [Vibrant Lingerie Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lorette-springsummer-collection.md)
