Elie Saab Couture

History Repeating
Find me a woman who wouldn't feel like a goddess in Elie Saab Couture - it's not possible. Although every season of his couture has strong similarities to the last, you can't deny that Saab is just good at what he does - make enviable clothing that will forever be in fashion.

Elie Saab's Autumn Winter collections have always seemed to be more sophisticated to me than his Spring, mainly due to him constantly bringing in hundreds of brightly coloured dyes in his fabrics and never really having a theme like he does with his Fall collections. He seems to pick just 5 base colours and creates patterns through twists and miles of fabric, then embroider embellishments that weigh 10kgs all over.

The dress above is my personal favourite of this collection because if done by another designer could have looked like a dyed old vintage wedding dress, but Elie Saab makes it sexy beyond belief, despite it being a colour not best suited for every woman.
