Elie Saab Fall 2026 is a moody take on the 1990s New York art scene, with sensual suiting for day and fluid drama by night. Daywear centres on jackets with rounded shoulders, cinched waists and exaggerated hips, paired with tulip or tube skirts amd trousers cut long and straight or tapered to a a cigarette silhouette. These pieces are cut from wool, tweed and velvet in a dark palette of black and charcoal, along with a signature crocodile leather print. For night, the mood shifts towards artistic abandon. Organza and chiffon fall as though draped on impulse; lace trims add allure. Hand-painted flowers on leather evoke the gestural brushstrokes of Cy Twombly, while the crocodile motif resurfaces on sequinned tulle. Ballgowns and evening dresses pair fitted bodices and short puff skirts; a stormy palette ensures a striking presence.
