Elie Saab Haute Couture Fall 2016 Collection - Shades of Gold

The Elie Saab Haute Couture Fall 2016 Collection is beautifully decorated with intricate embroideries that are ornamented with beads, sequins and appliqués - a signature feature of gowns Elie Saab over the years. It reminds us of gorgeous regal princesses, with a modern sultry twist. Smokey eye shadows and cat-lined eyes dominate the show,and they bring a fresh new attitude to the runway. Thick headbands were consistently seen in this collection, adding another metallic hint to the glistening diaphanous gowns.

The runway show starts with "Higher by Ary", rightly setting the mood to these smothering looks.

"Up we go higher higher"..

and indeed, one feels an elevation with ecstasy with the appearance of each genius creation. A balance of the light and darkness, is achieved with the distinct contrast of heavenly glimmering looks with dark smokey goth in the 2nd half. This finishes off with a grand heart-wrenching finale, where the definitions of time and space seems to halt as the golden majestic wedding dress with exceeding quality and grace glides through.
