Karolina Kurkova, a Czech supermodel with a classically sophisticated and commanding presence on the runway, lit up the Elie Saab Haute Couture runway in the Fall 2024 show in Paris as she strode down, one of the most standout moments of the event. Kurkova walked in dressed in almost otherworldly, intricately designed gowns that spoke of the glamour and the opulence with which the house of Elie Saab is so famous.
Staggering in display of opulence, style, and a deeply feminine lens, the Elie Saab Fall 2024 Haute Couture collection had everyone sitting on tenterhooks waiting for its premiere during Paris Fashion Week. One of the most anticipated faces at the night was supermodel Karolina Kurkova, who lived up to the hype, epitomising the ethereal elegance that Saab has come to be known for in rich, floor-skimming regalia covered in shimmering embroidery and subtle beadwork. A deep neckline with a flowing train made up a gold and ivory symphony shining at the lights of the runway as Saab moved. Kurkova succeeded in showing the actual richness and then also the specific attention given to details in the design of the gown, hence bringing the creation to life by her poised, confident steps.
Kurkova is the very definition of early 2000 as a Victoria’s Secret Angel and global fashion icon. Even now, at 40 years old, she still ranks among the powers to be reckoned with on a runway, as her performance at the show of Elie Saab proved the high talent and versatility of the model. This model is liked by designers who mix exquisite high fashion with unpretentious effortless style.
The Elie Saab fall 2024 collection could be defined solely through opulence and timeless beauty. All the looks that appeared on the runway of this collection were a testament to the value that this brand has committed itself to: the couture artistry that it has in lavish fabrics and intricate lace. Dramatic silhouettes summed up the whole collection, which were exemplary. But then, romance flavoured the sense infused in each design, with flowing gowns, rich jewel tones, and sparkly embellishments commanding centre stage. Kurkova stepped out onto the runway, encompassing as much nostalgia for the golden era of fashion as in her later transformations.
Paris Fashion Week being the bastion of haute couture, it is only fair that the Elie Saab Fall 2024 show, where Kurkova takes on the starring role, forever stamp on the brains of the audiences something timeless and beautiful. Well, teamed up with such a fantastic collection by Saab, Kurkova did more than just put an indelible stamp on the world of fashion; she reminded them of what really matters in fashion: craft, art, and iconic models who make it all come alive.
