Elie Saab SS13

Youthful, fresh and erring on the side of demure, Saab's latest started in a monochrome blue state of mind (in shades of cobalt and teal, from pantsuits to crossbody bag-slung flared frocks) before dipping into an array of patterns, having a quick cream palette cleanser, and wrapping up with elegantly executed lace and spangles. Lace was given a bit of structure, flair, and even sex appeal by way of same-hued ribbons traversing the body horizontally on skirts, crisscrossing the bodice in diamond-shaped configurations. Nothing gamechanging, but quite pretty across the board.
