By some quirk of fate here is another collection that
deserves a Bravo! Elie Saab is a master of his craft without question Resort
2015 seems to solidify that assessment. He speaks his language fluently and
without hesitation and delivers a cohesive convincing and statement making
collection.
The color palette can only be described at barely there
pastels. The workmanship and finish is astoundingly beautiful. He even manages
to accessorize beautifully. The silhouette is most definitely body conscious
without being obscenely tight. Please do not think that there were no missteps
but they were minor or very forgivable as they only showed that he is willing
to expand the looks that he shows. For me the laces and the engineered prints
were weak but then again that’s just me.
Mr. Saab has a chic that is becoming more and more rare with
the onslaught of the me too collections and the continuing adoration of the
barely talented darlings with their me too seasonal offerings. Perhaps what I
love is the that he exhibits a great respect for women and for the art of
fashion aside from his what he proffers for each coming season. Call me old
fashioned, but I believe that women would much rather look beautifully put together
than look like an unmade bed or like they wearing someone else’s clothes. Did I
also mention the proliferation of age inappropriate clothes that are offered by
these darlings?
Again, here is a designer who teases, taunts and cajoles his
customers to return to supplement their wardrobes and not just dare her to wear
their designs as some children do during adolescence. His fashion is not the
fashion of being “in fashion’ but rather being “of fashion.” In other words he
is not beckoning the fashion victims but is inviting the fashionable to join
his tribe.
PS... I am done here ... the point has been made! I think?
