Zeina Katami shines in crochet dresses by Elie Saab

In the summer of 2025, crochet proves that it is not just a traditional knitting technique associated with nostalgia, but a contemporary trend capable of competing with the finest couture fashion.

Zain Katami successfully highlighted this transformation during her recent trip to Italy, where she appeared in striking looks by Elie Saab, combining luxury and comfort, making crochet a new symbol of summer elegance.

The first dress... tulle embroidered with roses Zeina Katami's first look featured a crocheted tulle dress, fitted at the waist and cascading down. The design featured delicate floral embroidery at the collar and shoulders, while the open back added a chic, contemporary touch. The look was completed with a bucket hat from Elie Saab's collection, giving it a feminine, summery feel.

The second dress... cotton and silk with a bold look The second look was more daring and distinctive, as she chose a cotton and silk maxi dress that combined a padded crochet bra with a semi-sheer silk skirt with a deep front slit. The design showcased the richness of hand-knitting while simultaneously offering practical comfort suitable for the beach. Zayn coordinated it with a matching crochet handbag and the same bucket hat, completing the chic, modern look.

Summer 2025 trend by Elie Saab With these two looks, Zeina Katami redefined beachwear, making crochet a symbol of luxury and opulence for Summer 2025. Elie Saab, for his part, reimagined this trend with a couture touch, using luxurious fabrics like silk and exquisitely feminine cuts, transforming crochet from a seasonal trend into a pioneering choice that combines practical elegance with modern luxury.
