Sculptural elegance, confident femininity and timeless sophistication: since its beginnings, Elie Saab shapes a universe where fashion becomes a fairy tale.
Her style, imbued with refinement and romanticism, celebrates the modern woman through sumptuous creations with impeccable silhouettes, enhanced by delicate embroidery, plays on transparency and unparalleled attention to detail. True to this heritage, the collection Ready-to-Wear Fall-Winter 2025-2026 transports this iconic signature to a luminous and glamorous alpine horizon, reinventing the winter wardrobe through the prism of absolute luxury.
Immerse yourself in the alpine light with a collection inspired by the splendor of the most exclusive ski resorts, where the great outdoors and haute couture meet in perfect osmosis. Sumptuous materials combine with fluid cuts and bold structures to offer a vision of sports luxury that is both modern and timeless. Opulent textures, patinated shades, and bold silhouettes intertwine with chiseled details, resulting in a wardrobe designed to travel with ease, from the hushed lounges of major capitals to the sun-drenched slopes of snow-capped peaks.
A palette of winter shades serving alpine chic
The collection opens with a palette inspired by snowy landscapes and winter lights. Midnight black, powder white, fir green, deep burgundy, and chocolate brown intertwine in a warm and sophisticated chromatic harmony. This range of colors creates a symphony of après-ski looks, where comfort never compromises elegance.
The volumes are crafted with architectural mastery, creating a balance between protection and sensuality. XXL faux fur coats stand out as key pieces, enveloping the silhouette with confident opulence, while ultra-soft leggings, a precious second skin, offer absolute fluidity and comfort. Tubular midi skirts, embroidered or minimalist, embody effortless chic in powdery black and white.
The classic tuxedo, reinterpreted with a touch of ingenuity, is shortened and energized: the cropped trousers, structured and assertive, are worn with a sixties-inspired jacket, adorned with subtle embroidery that reinvents the sartorial heritage with a contemporary shine.
A grandiose nature that is imprinted in the textures
Like an echo of snowy landscapes, the collection's signature motif evokes an alpine horizon line, enhanced by an artistic and poetic approach.
