Elie Saab's spring couture in Paris dreams of Thai escape
PARIS — (AP) — Elie Saab whisked his guests away to Thailand for a Paris Fashion Week couture show Wednesday that gleamed with gold and intricate silk embroidery. Haute couture is an artisanal tradition invented by English designer Charles Frederick Worth in the 1870s. This season, the Lebanese designer used the Thai kingdom as a springboard for a highly embellished, yet delicate, couture collection. VIKTOR & ROLF TURN COUTURE ON ITS HEADThe inimitable Dutch design duo staged a quirky and surprising show featuring gowns that tried to turn couture on its head — literally. The dress was placed at a 2 o'clock angle with a cloud-colored tulle full skirt sweeping out theatrically to the left.
