ELIE SAAB COUTURE SPRING 2009

As interesting as Elie Saab’s ready to wear collections are, nothing compares to his couture shows. For the Spring/Summer 2009 couture season the Lebanese designer showed gowns fit for a princess, many of which are sure to turn-up on starlets and socialites in the coming months.

Further, as has been the case with John Galliano’s collection for Dior and Christian Lacroix’s couture collection this season, Ellie Saab’s collection feature both one shoulder looks and his personal take on the 80’s power suit which in Saab’s case took form, notably, in a shimmering dress with a fitted bodice and billowing shoulders.
