Elie *sigh* Saab for Fall 2011 Haute Couture

 The Haute Couture shows for Fall 2011 have just wrapped up and I skimmed through all the couture designers that presented. Of them all, I was drawn to the twinkling beads and pearls of Elie Saab's gowns. Maybe I'm coming off a wedding kick (hence the bias towards this look), but any of these would be bride-worthy. Modern, sleek, and elegant.

Honorable mention for my second favorite goes to Azzedine Alaia, who showed his first couture show in 8 years! Remember Cher's line to a gunman in Clueless when she refuses to drop to the ground? “You don’t understand; this is an Alaïa.”
