Elie Saab Haute Couture S/S 2015 Paris

OMG so gorgeous and pretty as usual. I'm sure every girl dreams about having one of these princess dresses.
 
As usual it's really nice but some pieces reminded me of Valentino Couture Fall 2014.
 
Worst Eli Saab collection so far. There isn't one dress I fancy wearing! And these are not the best shades of these colors, colors are dull.
 
obviously it's stupid to say "same as usual" blah blah because he doesn't do anything else but this, however if he just used some better colours, brighter, more vibrant it could completely transform this collection - it would be fresher.
 
^this is my favorite collection this season too, totally amazing
 
As usual it's really nice but some pieces reminded me of Valentino Couture Fall 2014.

It reminded me of Valentino as well, but both of these houses have always had a very similar aesthetic.

I do like that he is using feathers a tad bit more, at times he nails it others well... two steps forward one step back.

His embroidery here is beautiful, I love that its still all over the place in true Elie Saab fashion but now it's so exquisite, detailed and used to create the flower/butterfly wing motifs on the gowns, not just there to cover the whole look for the sake of it, there a bit more lightness to it as well.
 
The Elie Saab show is what the Valentino show used to be when it was still Garavani's guidance. Spectacular dresses that even the untrained eye can appreciate.
 
Its so beige. Even when he uses color its so washed out it basically is just more beige.

Aside from that, I always found his over embellishment to look messy and lacking refinement, and this is no exception. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
 
In my opinion it's their best collection in many seasons. The first looks are amazing, absolutely ! Love love love :)
 
Elie Saab is a true Cinderella designer, it's very nice but also not very exciting because it's every time the same.
 
Hmm...I'm not completely sure about the color palette yet, but I definitely like this collection.
 
Elie Saab collections are always very commercial and very pretty. Nothing less, nothing more. My problem is that I don't feel like I'm getting a sense of the Saab woman like I do with Valentino, Dior, Versace etc. Almost everyone would like these clothes, they don't feel focused and lack a bit of personality. They're beautiful, of course, but couture needs more imo.
