Elie Saab haute couture a/w 2010

delicately structured. apparently the collection was inspired by an Opera house in Venice and it's burning demise (literally); some peices mimick the design of the building, while others are a blatant display of flames.

the colors, fabrics and designs were captivating, I just wished Elie constructed a dress completely out of the velvet he used to belt some of his garments.
