RUNWAY REPORT.....Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week: Elie Saab Couture Fall 2017

WHAT: Elie Saab Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2017. Known for his bedazzled evening wear, Lebanese designer Elie Saab did not disappoint his customers with dress after dress (and many gowns!) of hand appliqued sequined/tulle/satin wonders to satisfy any Gulf State, Chinese and/or Russian millionaire's wife...and sister, cousin and daughter!

Inspiration Perhaps? Sansa Stark of "Game of Thrones"

INSPIRATION: The show's notes explained as such: A fictional world of "fallen kings, defeated by a fearless heroic sisterhood...bright and brave warrior queens they were, are, and forever will be". So...think of these women as "Game of Thrones" Sansa Stark Couture Divas.

SEEN ON THE RUNWAY: Lots of floor-sweeping gowns; capes; romantic and ethereal a la Elie Saab; velvets and silk satins; gold thread woven through the embroidery.
