Haute Couture fashion week in Paris 2012
The final day of Paris’s spring summer haute couture fashion week saw Amy Winehouse and Valentino show off the dazzling couture work of seamstresses who toiled for thousands of hours to create a lavish white collection. Designer Elie Saab presented a fairy tale blockbuster, drawing in Hollywood stars sizing up dresses for Oscar season. The show also highlighted the importance of the Middle East and actresses mixed alongside Arab and Chinese buyers at his show. Models show luminous shantung silk gowns blossomed on the runway of the Lebanese designer’s collection. The fashion show was made up almost exclusively of delicate ball gowns with pastels.
Other collections were heavy on greens. Sea and pale green full length gowns danced regally with flower paillettes. One sweeping sea green robe in embroidered with sequins featured plunging dramatic double skirts. Designer’s lavish show was a natural choice for stars eyeing up potentials as Berenice Bejo, basking in the attention gained by her nomination for best supporting actress. The designer still his eye on the trends as one beautiful full circle dress in pink tulle and black lace ensured the show kept pace with the in vogue 1950s shapes that have filled the catwalk this season.
