Elie Saab - Classic Couture

Inspired by the jewels of a crown, a rich and and royal pallet of colours was exactly what Elie Saab dished up in this Fall couture line this season. Emerald, ruby and sapphire were the stand out hues in simple designs, leaving exquisite draping and breath taking bead work to steal the show. With no shortage of champagne and a wedding gown finale, I shall hold my breath until award season begins. Red carpet moment alert!

What Winter Looks Like: Chanel Fever

'Old world meets new', 'tradition with future' are few of the comments being made on the 2013 Fall Couture collection of Chanel.
The old was shown through details of fichus, portrait neck lines and volume filled shapes provoking the luxurious Victorian feel. The futuristic was felt through the eerie metallic materials of shine and pavéed sequins.
With a belt everything attitude in hand, the theatre like performance showed stylists and buyers alike what this winter looks like. (With no shortage of a tweed jacket or two!)

Ps, what a stella photo of Erin Wasson & the lovely Karl Largerfeild for the finale.
