FALL 2014 COUTURE

Daywear? Elie Saab has a ready-to-wear collection for that. At his Couture show today he was focused exclusively on after-dark.

SASHA LUSS (ELITE)

Saab made his point by lining the back of the runway with chandeliers, which were illuminated just moments before the first model made her grand entrance.

The colors refracted in those chandeliers provided the palette: first blue, then pink, next blush, followed by black, white, and gray.

For decoration, Saab preferred pearls. Tahitian blue for a navy chiffon goddess dress; white pearls on a long-sleeve princess gown; champagne-colored ones for a strapless cocktail number in a neutral shade of pink.

The white-on-white looks were the prettiest, but damn if all those embellishments weren't heavy.

GINTA LAPINA (WOMEN)

A few of the models really struggled with their gowns, and the bride, with her acres of embroidered train, didn't fare much better.

Surely one of Haute Couture's pleasures should be the way made-to-measure clothes feel on the body

Amid the tone-on-tone embroideries and the ombré effects, a sweeping ball gown in pink with tiny blue embroidery stood out.

So did a couple of dresses that featured a lavish rose print. Saab should keep experimenting with print. For one thing, it's a whole lot lighter than pearls.
