GILDED VOYAGE 

Inspired by the timeless mystique of theOrient Express, ELIE SAAB PRE-FALL 2025 transports us to a world of effortless glamour, where bold daylight excursions merge into glittering after-dark escapades. Artfully blending past and future, the collection combines the jewel-toned elegance of the Belle Epoque with fresh details and 1970s silhouettes to depict a sophisticated adventurer setting out for new horizons with confidence and flair.

Rich shades of ochre yellow and burnt orange feature on day dresses and two-pieces crafted from breezy plissé chiffon. Monochrome tweed with a hint of shimmer brings impeccable chic to multiple styles. Sleek block-colour midis denote quiet power with tonal belts and over-the-knee boots, while fluid trouser suits in emerald and garnet combine clean lines with unexpected accents such as feminine cross-lacing and subtle jacquard. A striking new collection of luxury handbags—The Wave—unites soft napa with a sinuous metal grip for a poised finishing touch.

Come sundown, silks and velvets shine from the shadows; georgette dresses boast playful, waist-defining ruffles; bare shoulders rise above shimmering paillettes in black, midnight blue and bronze-pink. An ivory fur and feather jacket lends irresistible texture to simple shapes, while meticulous cut-outs grant contemporary edge to classic gowns, revealing a filigree of flesh beneath black or green crêpe. For definitive drama, a metallic ombré dress in gold, pink and silver with a plunging neckline and cape sleeves reinvents fin-de-siecle splendour for today.

The Elie Saab woman has always been a fearless voyager, tireless in her search for beauty across the continents. Exquisitely crafted and unfailingly easy to wear, ELIE SAAB PRE-FALL 2025 powerfully showcases her strength, freedom and allure.
