Skin-Grazing Beaded Gowns

The Elie Saab Fall 2012 Couture Collection is Magnificent

— July 4, 2012 — Fashion

The show begins on a dramatic, dark tone with all-black beaded gowns dominating the runway. Despite the lack of color, sheer lace layers and deep-plunging necklines make these dresses head-turning hot. The second half of the show brings the audience back to Saab's usual romantic, ladylike hues with soft blush pinks, champagne ivory and pastel blues taking over. The Lebanese designer brings an exotic mix of fine beaded patterns and drapery that emulates his cultural upbringing.
