Elie Saab | Haute Couture Spring Summer 2012

Lebanese designer Elie Saab's ss/2012 collection presented pretty pastels in flowing girly fabrics.
Saab, known for his red-carpet-ready-gowns and A-list clienteles, added rosettes, lace, and a hint of sparkle to make his outfits really standout.


The designer unveiled ball gowns in a sea of pastels from mint, peach, periwinkle, grey and cream with splashes of shimmer for his spring/summer collections.

Much of the fabrics was sheer before the waist and the floral prints on full skirts gave gowns an airy of royalty. . . showing why
Saab is one of the undisputed "Kings of the red carpet dressing".
Shoulders were emphasized to mark the structure of the dresses in thick layers of tulle or silk, embroideries with silver.
 
Saab said he found his inspiration in fairytales, which appeals to the child memory of all women.

"In this collection I thought about a very modern princess, I thought of the fairytales which all girls dream of in order to come up with this collection which I hope you'll like, concerning colors, I thought of very soft colors but ones that still retained the dazzle I wanted to achieve in this collection." he said after the show.
