atypical ::

designer Elie Saab broke out of his typical mold for his Spring 2010 Couture collection, and brought out a softer subtle view on couture. obviously different for the designer, but exciting to see him try to take a stab at something new.

the collection was consistent, thoughtful and romantic. while he focused heavily on beige, rose and ice blue, Saab also brought in his signature flowey bottoms, lace, crystals and attention to collarbones.
