Elie Saab for his Spring 2015 collection wanted to pay homage to his native Beirut with a shimmering collection of gowns inspired by the women he saw growing up during the city’s Sixties. The collection featured decorative details, including oversize blooms and abstract tree bark effects on sheer fabrics in powdery shades of ivory, pink, beige and green. Ostrich feathers were used to fabulous effect as an allover trim on a nude dress with sequined floral embroideries and a cape back. In a more delicate vein, individual ostrich feathers nestled among 3-D chiffon tulip petals on a full-skirt. The collection I thought was different. The level of detailing throughout were very interesting I think the collection pushed the mark did something different. And I can only respect that.
