If it seems that not a fashion event goes by without mention of Elie Saab, that would be correct. The Lebanese king of couture is a staple of everything from , Hollywood, to , high fashion, . This year's Paris Fashion week, where designers' ready-to-wear Fall/Winter collections for 2015 were showcased, was no different. ,
, Staged in the gardens in front of the Louvre, Saab's show was attended by a star-studded crowd including French actress Emmanuelle Beart, who has been a Saab fan for over 20 years. ,, ,
, With trees lining the runway, his designs echoed the natural elements of his couture show , earlier this year, . Seeking to make an allegory of awakening and emancipation, he played on the , idea of, Mother Nature and used lace as a representation of foliage and trees. ,
, The Lebanese designer told Agence France Press that “lace liberates the upper legs, where light appears behind poetic turns of embroidered foliage to reveal a diffuse yet feminine form." We're not exactly sure what that means, but it looks beautiful.
