ELIE SAAB, the Lebanese designer who enjoyed years of adoration from his international admirers, lost the passion for fashion.Year after year, we look forward to his rich and fabulous collections, chances are, the collection is there, but the "magic" is gone somewhere between red carpets and the deep blue sea.
The flames and the embellishments are there in the runway, like the phoenix who had been burned to the ground and risen from the flames three times, but for his Fall couture collection,it was burnt and never rises to expectations.His opening number of ruched velvet red gown, was little bit the 'LOST' piece of his couture collection few years ago...a certain feeling of deja' vu!
Elie Saab never intended to get out from his style and fashion "comfort zones" as he claims and that he was breaking some personal ground with his focus on classical draping, yet the draped one-shouldered asymmetrical silhouette just by looking rewind memories of his past drape so exactly the way it was.
The colors, the broad-shouldered tops, draped gowns with flowing chiffon, the bat-wing sleeves, the embellishment of the fabrics and the running salt beads hidden under tulle embroideries are so things in the past. It is an old fashioned collection, he must change his Couture venue next season...in the red carpet of the Oscars, where his FALL 2010 belongs.
