Elissa...a statement elegance. XFactor Arabia

Talent shows have become a big window for celebrity judges to show off their style sense away from the stage. One of the judges who really caught my attention is Elissa, I've waited for few episodes to appear to be able to judge her style and how she is maintaining it through out the lives. In my opinion Elissa, among all celebs wore the best wardrobe so far, she worked on her full look every time, make up by Bassam Fattouh and hair by Yahia & Zakaria both lebanese. I've compiled the looks and made sure to get from her the designers she wore with maximum details, shoes, headbands etc... Dior, Gucci, Elie Saab, Azzara, Dolce & Gabbana, Marchesa, Christioan Louboutin, Zanotti....

Elie Saab - Paris Fashion Week...& the fairytale continues!

Chances are you are going to fall in LOVE with this collection! Elie Saab Couture Paris Fashion Week  F/W 2011.

Elie Saab’s collections always leave me speechless for all of the right reasons. While almost the same thread of tuck waistlines and the scatter of beads and demure glamour was present in some of the designs which I personally consider The Saab signature, there was a lighter more easy tone to the entire collection. The Saab woman is like an angel: ethereal, light, evanescent, and innocent. The colors of this show were a mix of dusty shades: white, aquamarine, light blue, midnight blue (embellished tulle like a sky at midnight), bronze, powder and the fabric used velvet, tulle, organza, crystals, lace and chiffon.

The models with their loosely swept to the side chignons looked as though they were from another era of romantic modernism. And while some may tire of Saab’s similar collections, I must say not this season folks!!! Despite few fashion critics argument that the collection is too saccharine for a brief moment or two, for me it looks like as if a Nordic-inflected ice queen works for Saab, and I love her touch on everything!

This collection fairly screams not just red carpet, not just awards season, but OSCAR red carpet, loud and clear. We are definitely going to be seeing a lot of the gowns on the Hollywood's prom night! or more on Elissa ???

I can’t help but admire and applaud his talent.
