The aesthetics of relaxed chic: Elie Saab debuts new Resort 2027 collection
21:31 23 June, 2026Lebanese couturier Elie Saab continues to lean into flawless, high-gloss glamour with his new resort collection. This time around, however, the designer boldly pairs sharp daytime outfits with his signature, intricately embellished evening gowns.
In the new lineup, Saab revisits the fashion house's archival codes, significantly reimagining them through cleaner silhouettes and effortless styling. A prime example of this new direction is a pair of slim cigarette trousers styled with a loose, ribbed tank top and a sweater casually tied around the waist, creating an ultra-trendy look of effortless nonchalance.
Another daring experiment features a Western-style denim shirt tucked into a luxurious, floor-length skirt embroidered with sequins and lace. It appears that the traditionally strict codes of the Elie Saab fashion house are becoming noticeably softer and more liberated.
The everyday section of the collection is built around clean shapes and coordinated two-piece sets. The color palette is kept predominantly light, featuring creams and beiges. The main pop of color comes in an acid-green hue: the designer has reimagined last season's edgy "Brat Summer" trend, transforming it into a more muted, sophisticated chartreuse.
The image of the rebellious party girl has evolved—now, this woman is more likely heading to an elegant garden party in a key lime pie-colored mini skirt.
Floral motifs are also present in the collection, but instead of the usual sugary romance, they appear as soft, stylized prints on ruffled dresses and asymmetrical tops.
Tailoring occupies a special place in the lineup: Saab suggests turning your attention to a pristine white pantsuit with exaggeratedly oversized proportions, as well as slim black capri pants paired with a corset bustier and a cropped bolero.
The designer also continues to aggressively develop his accessories line, expanding the universe of his brand. In this resort collection, the emphasis is placed on elegant clutches, sunglasses, and new footwear silhouettes, including dainty T-strap heels.
