Elie Saab's Fall 2024 Couture Collection Embraces Gothic Glamour Elie Saab's Fall 2024 couture collection was a captivating exploration of gothic elegance, drawing inspiration from the mysterious allure of a dark, enchanted garden. The Lebanese designer looked to Priscilla Presley's 1970s style as a muse, infusing the collection with a touch of rock 'n' roll edge. Swinging fringe on Western-inspired jackets and dresses gave a nod to country influences, while lightning bolt embroidery added a dynamic, electric energy. Saab balanced this edgier aesthetic with his signature opulent craftsmanship, showcasing heavily embellished gowns in monochrome palettes accented with floral embroidery. Oversize rose appliqués on coats and capes added a dramatic, sculptural element, while sheer blouses with floral detailing offered a more delicate take on the gothic theme. The collection also featured Saab's interpretation of naked dressing, with a sheer blouse highlighting the bust, as well as his take on denim-on-denim looks, cementing the designer's ability to seamlessly blend high glamour with more casual, contemporary silhouettes. As Elie Saab Jr. noted, the brand is focused on expanding its presence in the Middle East, with plans for an immersive fashion event in Saudi Arabia this October. This collection solidifies Saab's position as a master of red carpet-ready couture, blending his Lebanese heritage with a modern, global sensibility.
