Elie Saab spring 2022

Let me present exhibits A through I which represent a collection that is held together with forethought and planning, Saab is no Johnny one note, he brings sexy without skin, he brings glamour without klieg lights and most of all he offers up wearable clothes for day and evening.

That said, we have rarely seen this in NY or Milan and not so far in Paris either; he is known for dresses and he convinces you that indeed he is a master of a dress including the 2-piece variety. Some might say it is a lot of generic looking pieces but what you cannot deny is that they are impeccably finished and all wearable for all types of bodies... well at least most!

The cohesion of the collection is done so well and seemingly effortlessly. He reminds us that it is possible for Spring 2022 not to do bra-lets and bare midriffs or any sort of bells and whistles; just purely beautiful clothes for women of discerning taste.

No, I have not forgotten that the pandemic era is not over yet but I would tend to think that his ladies circulate in circles where much of the dressier looks can go to private dinners and small celebrations without looking like a wedding cake.

Call me old fashioned but bring me Saab and leave the meager talents of a Raf and Pierpaolo far in the background as their clothes won’t get much further than the runway and truthfully speaking serve no purpose.
