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!
