Classic, feminine and sexy, but with an edge. Elie Saab’s resort 2016 collection is an intricate combination of these descriptive words that will leave you not only embracing your delicate, classic and feminine side, but wanting to take a glamorous vacation to a warm place! The collection incorporates various silhouettes, from classic flowing dresses and skirts, to pants and shirts. Many of these silhouettes showcase Elie Saab’s couture essence, with gorgeous beading, elaborate lace and glamorous touches.
Lace was the key component I took from this collection to translate into my own. With Elie Saab’s ultra-feminine silhouettes, I opted for a pleated lace maxi skirt. As seen in some of the pants showcased in Saab’s collection, my skirt has a lace overlay maxi in length, with a mini skirt length lining, highlighting elegant pleated lace and my legs, for a feminine, classy, yet sensual and edgy feel. The pleats added to the aesthetic of the skirt and kept the feminine ambiance alive.
Wanting to go monochromatic for this look, I chose a lace black tank top to tuck into the skirt. Choosing a tank top that could be tucked like mine, made a skirt and shirt ensemble that could virtually double as a dress. Adding black, strappy, sparkly sandals tied the look together. The sparkles tied in Saab’s love for all things feminine and intricate such as sparkles and beading. The sandals, being for warmer climates and seasons, brought the resort collection aesthetic together in my look.
