Elie Saab Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2016
The Dish: New York, New York/The Big Apple. That was the theme of the Elie Saab Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2016 collection shown in Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week. Saab is opening a store next year so one assumes this is an appropriate theme. There were skylines hand-sewn onto silk organza and tulle, making a devore-like look...
Sequined doves appeared throughout as well as little couture girls walking along their model "mommies". Imagine being 8 years old and having the chance to have a $40,000 "mini"-Elie Saab Haute Couture hand-made gown created just for you? I am sure there are some Middle Eastern, Chinese and Russian Billionaire children looking forward to this.
Trends: All-out Glamour. It's Elie Saab! Lots of gold sequin applique, hand-cut velvet, side drapes/folds, below-the-knee; 1940's Lauren Bacall-meets-Kathryn Hepburn Hollywood Glam.
Colors: Gold, black, navy, deep purple, royal blue, raspberry; pink.
