A Dance with Darkness by Elie Saab, F/W 2024 | FashionTV | FTV

Admire the fall/winter 2024-2025 haute couture collection of Elie Saab showcased at Paris Fashion Week! Welcome backstage of the show which is a mesmerizing waltz through a gothic wonderland. Gone were the usual cascades of golden silks; instead, a darker, more mysterious aura enveloped the runway. The opening act set the tone: a form-fitting black velvet mermaid gown, devoid of embellishment yet undeniably dramatic in its simplicity. This initial minimalism soon gave way to a spectrum of deep jewel tones – ruby and emerald green – that adorned sleek silhouettes. The interplay of draping, ruching, and layers of veiling lace created a sense of captivating tension, a departure from Saab's usual golden goddess radiance.
