The Elie Saab Spring/Summer 2013 collection was well-received at this year's New York Fashion Week. The floor-length pieces mimicked styles seen in classic Disney films as the models came across as majestic and often, ethereal.
Saab captured this major motion picture film appeal via lace-based patterns, translucent fabric and majestic print patterns. The pieces were also quite classic as this Spring/Summer 2013 lot revealed little skin and featured mostly high neck lines. The articles are therefore ageless as the designer strayed away from daring pops of color or aggressive cuts that are better suited to a particular moment in time. The airy color scheme adds to this quality, found in the cream and lilac tones.
