Inspired by the romantic ballet Giselle, Saab wowed with a collection of glitzy, dark-spirited evening dresses with hints of sporty and streetwear elements.
From the front-rowers to the must-have accessories, here’s everything you need to know about what happened on the day…
The top runway looks
This one-armed velvet opera cloak, sitting atop a feather-embellished gown, definitely caught our eye coming down the catwalk.
This ballet dancer-pink gown, featuring delicate ruffles and cinched at the waist with a velvet belt, is going straight on our Pinterest board.
The details
A deep purple jumpsuit features delicate lace sleeves tied with velvet ribbons.
Horizontal lace inserts put the drama into the back.
The hair and makeup
Soft sultry eyes and nude lips complemented the dark romantic mood.
Hair was pulled back into a low bun with just the right amount of volume, while a studded alice band created a truly ethereal look. We’re seeing this look saving us on ‘can’t be bothered to wash our hair’ workday mornings…
The show-goers
Dubai-based blogger Karen Wazen Bakhazi attended the show in Paris, dressed in a gold star-embellished jacket and skirt by Saab (natch).
Brazilian blogger Helena Bordon teamed her starry sequinned Saab top with skinnies and knee-high boots.
Style icon Olivia Palermo sat FROW with Spanish actress Nieves Alvarez.
