The photograph captures a backstage moment at a Saab Couture show in Paris, sometime in late 2019. The setting is a dimly lit, cavernous space filled with organized chaos – racks overflowing with shimmering beaded gowns, scattered sketches pinned to boards, and the hurried movements of stylists and seamstresses. A single spotlight illuminates Elie Saab himself, standing slightly apart from the bustle, his face etched with focused intensity as he examines a model’s final fitting. The model is Karlie Kloss, radiant in a breathtaking white bridal gown, its intricate embroidery catching the light. She wears oversized, darkly tinted sunglasses that partially obscure her eyes, adding an air of enigmatic glamour to the scene. The gown's train pools elegantly onto the concrete floor. In the foreground, slightly out of focus, is a scattered array of eyewear – various Saab-designed sunglasses and optical frames, showcasing the range of styles for the collection. A single red link (a small, decorative charm) hangs from one of the gowns’ delicate straps. The lighting is dramatic and theatrical - sharp contrasts between light and shadow emphasize the textures and details. The overall mood is one of hushed excitement and controlled creativity – a glimpse behind the curtain of haute couture. There's a sense of fleeting beauty and transient artistry, capturing not just a fashion moment but an emotional atmosphere. The backdrop suggests elements from multiple seasons - hints of spring florals woven into some fabric samples contrast with darker winter velvets draped on nearby racks, showcasing Saab’s design process across the year – pre-fall, resort, annual collections.
