Fall 2011 Couture Collections - Elie Saab

 A few weeks ago, Elie Saab unveiled his collection for Fall 2011 in Paris and if its possible, its even more stunning than the spring collection I covered here. The fall designs seem to carry on seamlessly from spring - loaded with beads, crystals and gowns with flowing layers and spot-on draping. These gowns are fit for a fairy princess - diaphanous and shimmering, sheer and sexy, while remaining lady like and elegant at the same time. The palette is also incredible - moving from pale icy blue to white, pink, mauve, brown and navy. Le sigh!


Loving the new long sleeve trend in evening gowns, like on the pale blue number in the third row above - one of my favorites. 


Looking at these runway shots, I also noticed that many of his gowns are backless this season - sexy chic!

There were even a few short dresses in the mix with cute little cap sleeves and flippy skirts.


I would wear every single gown in Elie Saab's fall line - something I am sure I say every single time he brings out a new collection. What can I say? The man just gets me.

Elie Saab Spring 2011 Couture Collection

Elie Saab's 2011 Spring collection debuted recently, and I think I'm in love. It was a parade of tulle, organza, shimmer, flowers and grosgrain ribbon in the trendiest shades of the season - nudes, pale creams and whites, lavender and rose gold. Its rare that I see an entire couture collection and love nearly every piece that is sent down the runway, but Elie Saab definitely created something magical with this group of red-carpet worthy dresses.

Have you ever seen such lovely, feminine designs that manage to be ultra-girly but sexy at the same time? In the words of the incomparable Rachel Zoe, I. Die.

I dream of someday having an event where I could wear a dress like one of these. The man is a genius, I tell you!

The lavender dress literally sends shivers down my spine. I will take one of each of these dresses, please. Totally appropriate to wear to work on my laptop at Starbucks in the middle of the week - right? xoxo
