The Elie Saab Fall 2014 Haute Couture collection was a sight for sore eyes. The show was like a roller coaster of shimmering palettes and underwater muses. Set to look like a grand Parisian palace but somehow looking more like an ocean, the richly colored collection was full of beautiful blues, corals and whites -- with lush pearl beading and crystals from embellishments which gave the pieces a frothing wave look.
Sticking to the brands reputation for making women feel utterly beautiful, the Elie Saab Fall 2014 Haute Couture collection did more than deliver. The collection features A-line shapes in all blues from pale to deep peacock, cocktail dresses with deep-V plunges and sheer capes and princess skirts in whites and silvers.
