Beautiful gowns so far.

I think that this could be easily mistaken for Elie Saab, but some of the gowns are pretty.

 

[modeldom]

^ I was just about to say Elie Saab as well...

 

[Style-Addict]

^Me too. Elie Saab came to mind when I saw these.
The gowns all look great. I want to see a close up of that wedding dress, it looks very extravagant and dramatic.

I want to see the bride up close with detailed shots, the shot larien just posted is breath taking.

lol......with all due respect .....these lebanese couture designers , arent really couture designers , just make dresses for persian gulf princess and red carpet events, all of them seem to be elie saab clones and thats not a compliment.

 

[Trista]

^Well for the most part I love the Lebanese designers because I love the breathtaking red-carpet ready gowns. I want to see close-ups because this looks really nice.

 

[disco54]

NO the gowns are beautiful but in paris , you require some ingenuity and innovation , they should this in Milan .

I can name a half dozen designers that made similar dresses like this last season or in the last few yrs...dior, elie saab, givenchy, mcqueen, versace, etc. But still, it's pretty.

Saw the full show on FTV last night

Saw the full show on FTV las night. Outstanding! It's only when you see the dresses in movement that you fully appreciate their beauty. His colour palette was very soft. There was a purple hazy mauve dress that took my breath away. His second exit, the short Lacroix-esque skirted suit in black and white with lace, was perhaps my favourite. FTV also showed the fittings, and the preparations backstage before the show.
