I know this is like a whole week late, but I will never not post Elie Saab Couture, so I have uploaded a selection of the Fall collection.

and then Saab created The Goddess

Elie Saab's couture collections are one's I look forward to every season, for the intricate details and the striking beauty of the garments he creates. There's a gown for almost everyone in his collection, all with the staple Goddess effect upon the fortunate wearer.

If you have been following for a while you will now that although I never have the opportunity to wear gowns like these I do like to keep an image folder full of the ones I adore.

Anyway, enjoy...

Elie Saab Couture - Spring 2010

I love many different designers for many different reason. With Galliano, for example, I love the high impact drama and colour of his creations and shows. I love Elie Saab the same way I love Marchesa - beautiful gowns.

He doesn't try to challenge 'fashion' and come up with crazy, unwearable garments for the sake of being 'out there'. Everyone seems to be so obsessed with new, new, new lately that they forget the importance of good quality dress making and clothes that last yet still make a strong impact.

Saab is another designer to beautifully interpret the Spring trend of pastels into Haute Couture, with floaty chiffons, delicate beading and floral detailling. I am also in love with the natural beauty of the hair and make-up. I think this may be a style I'll be trying out for myself come summer time.

Final Couture Post

Sorry this has been so delayed - my mum came down for a last-minute visit with my little brothers for the weekend.

Elie Saab's collection was completely winter wonderland white. The collection was so pretty I found it difficult to narrow it down to these images.

Valentino's clothing wasn't quite so elaborate (when you compare it to some of Galliano's dramatic gowns) but the lacy headpeices and detailing is just so beautiful

Armani Prive had some wonderful metallics in dark greys, blacks and midnight blue with lots of beading. I need one of the multi-strand beaded necklaces....
