Elie Saab showcase There were so many beautiful garments that I envision down the runway that I had to show you. I truly love this collection because the use of colors are the ones I preferably like for Spring. Let’s get to it.

If you are not familiar with Elie Saab, he is a Lebanese fashion designer; he has been in the industry since the early 1980’s. He became well known to the United States in 2002 when he dressed the iconic Halle Berry when she won her first Oscar, you remember the dress? It was masterpiece. He has also dressed many famous celebrities like Celin Dion, Beyonce, Taylor Swift and even Kate Middleton.

This collection is called Portrait of a Dream. Where we are transported into a realm where fashion and the arts meet. Imagine Monet’s paintings that evolve serene landscapes, my favorite paintings from Monet that I can give as an example is The Water Lily Pond and The Artist’s Garden at Giverny. Take a look at it. On the Elie Saab’s website, it details that this collection was inspired by a romantic impressionist garden. Meaning, a style of painting used in France in the 19^th century, much like Monet.

The show uses a palette of dreamy pastels and soft hues of lavender, blush and mint just like lilies and camelilias within a delicate beauty of nature in a garden. The garments flow elegantly, and he uses intricate embellishments like sequins and beadings yet makes still feel dreamlike.

I love the use of regal aesthetics in this collection – I truly fell in love with each garment as I would wear each one- this is a style I resonate with.
