Elie Saab Spring-Summer 2026

By Editorial Staff

For Spring–Summer 2026, Elie Saab centers his collection on a powerful theme: gilded escapism as a state of mind. Drawing from the hedonistic jet-set culture that once drifted between Milos, Marrakech, and the Mediterranean’s most decadent hideaways in the 1970s, Saab reimagines glamour as both refuge and spectacle. This is a world where fashion becomes fantasy, where metallic light clings to the body, where movement is sensual, and where dressing up is an act of desire rather than necessity.

Anchored in molten golds, bronzes, and sun-warmed chocolate tones, the collection radiates like a prolonged sunset, punctuated by flashes of deep purple that suggest twilight intrigue. Beneath the shimmer lies structure: Art Deco geometry, graphic symmetry, and sculpted lines give discipline to the decadence. The result is a confident and immersive vision of couture that celebrates excess, nostalgia, and emotional indulgence, reaffirming Saab’s mastery of high-octane elegance while framing 2026 as a season devoted to light, seduction, and unapologetic glamour.
