For Resort 2026, Elie Saab gently redefines the language of his house—ushering in a fresh, approachable refinement without losing the delicate sophistication that defines his name. This collection feels like a quiet pivot: thoughtful, youthful, and refreshingly real. Saab crafts a wardrobe of modern ease designed for the woman in motion—one who drifts between city streets, coastal escapes, and twilight gatherings with grace.

From the very first look, there’s lightness—a quiet shift in energy. Classic trench coats are transformed, cleverly zipped into pleated skirts, serving function without forsaking beauty. Bomber jackets, with their relaxed tailoring, soften the edge of outerwear, while wide-leg high-waisted trousers and low-slung, gently flared denim evoke a laid-back nod to the early 2000s—nostalgia, reimagined for today.

Everyday essentials are elevated with Saab’s signature finesse. Safari shirts and cotton twill trousers meet whisper-thin cashmere-silk knits and lace-edged tanks, hinting at the intimacy of lingerie beneath polished surfaces. Poplin day dresses—light and textured with macramé—layer gracefully for transitional wear, while suiting morphs into silk pajama-inspired sets paired with crisp jackets or swirling voluminous skirts, blurring the boundary between structured sophistication and relaxed charm.

A subtle “Office Siren” allure threads throughout: pencil skirts slit with lace, tailored blazers worn atop delicate camisoles—an irresistible balance of power and sensuality that feels made for a new generation of confident women.

The palette speaks with restraint, a whispered elegance of black, white, and camel, gently kissed by coral, lemon yellow, and chartreuse—touches of color that freshen without overpowering. Saab leans into texture and form, letting structure and movement tell the story rather than overt embellishment.

Eveningwear—the soul of Elie Saab—arrives lighter, freer. Liquid knit gowns skim the figure, sequined columns drape asymmetrically, silk chiffons float with deliberate ease, styled with flat sandals to dissolve the formality of past seasons. Romance lingers, but with a modern breath—less spectacle, more sensual sway.

Accessories follow suit. The beloved Wave clutch, dreamed up by Marina Raphael, returns in natural bamboo, now with a practical strap—a symbol of the house’s thoughtful turn toward functionality woven with beauty.

Elie Saab’s Resort 2026 is more than a collection; it’s a proposition for the modern woman: a wardrobe designed for both life and leisure, work and wandering, dusk and dawn. In this gentle evolution, the house proves it can stretch, soften, and glow with quiet confidence—offering timeless elegance to a new, diverse audience without losing the romance that made it a legend.
