Description
Design History:
Elie Saab, the Lebanese designer renowned for his spectacular approach to evening gowns, has been blending haute couture savoir-faire and contemporary elegance since the 1990s. This dress reflects the house’s codes of restrained sensuality, draping and sumptuous materials. The rich velvet and fluid fall are in keeping with his creations designed to sublimate the body without ostentation.
Exterior details:
The velvet, a blend of viscose and silk, has a dense, shiny texture that reacts subtly to light. The color gradient from black top to wine-red bottom accentuates the verticality of the model. Asymmetrical draping at the front and partially at the hip adds movement and structure to the dress. The sober back is fastened with a full-length zipper for easy slip-on.
Interior Details:
The dress is fully lined with a wine-red silk fabric, guaranteeing soft, pleasant contact with the skin. Finishes are crisp, living up to the standards of luxury Lebanese couture. The lining also allows the drape to retain its shape without altering the fluidity of the outer fabric.
Product Condition:
In excellent condition, this dress shows no snags, stains or visible signs of wear. The velvet retains all its lustre and density. The zipper works perfectly, and both inner and outer seams are solid and well finished.
Care instructions:
This dress should only be dry-cleaned by a specialist in delicate textiles. Avoid mechanical pressure on draped areas when storing. Store the dress suspended on a padded hanger in a breathable cover, away from moisture and direct light.
