Elie Saab Couture SS26: Ombré Chiffon, Metal Mesh, After-Dark Ease

ELIE SAAB Haute Couture Spring–Summer 2026 unfolds as a cinematic celebration of freedom, glamour, and nocturnal seduction. Inspired by gilded summer nights and the hedonistic spirit of the 1970s jet-set, the collection follows a radiant nomad whose self-expression is instinctive and fearless.

Leather is worn like jewellery, woven textures meet abstract prints, and crystals cascade across ethnic motifs, while gold and silver intertwine. Ombré chiffon, metal mesh, feathered layers, and fluid silhouettes reveal exceptional craftsmanship. The finale unveils an ethereal bridal vision, light as air yet jewel-like, embodying effortless sensual elegance.
