Gulf States Diva: Elie Saab Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2015

RUNWAY REPORT.....Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week Fall 2015, CHANEL Haute Couture Pics & Runway, Behind-the-Scenes and Making of Collection Videos!

Chanel Casino Gals: Chanel Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2015

Theme: "Casino Chanel" was the setting, with celebs Julianne Moore, Kristen Stewart, model Lara Stone and Rita Ora, to name a few, strewn throughout, gambling on the set-up Black Jack tables...

Lord--and the Chanel owners, the Wertheimer family--only knows how much it cost to get them--plus the Casino set. But, as we know, people buy LOTS of those purses and LOTS of those perfumes...therefore, a multi-million dollar set such as this (including the fee to fly these stars via private plane) is pittance. And worth it. In their eyes. The clothes: marvelous. The "Day" suits were incredible; they should be when you are paying $50,000 for one.



Colors: Creme; ivory; lipstick red; wine; navy; teal; grape.



Trends: Shoulder emphasis; epaulets; pencil skirts vs. full A-line shapes; tea-length bell-shaped gowns; 20's-30's inspired chiffon dresses; the elbow length sleeve; hi-lo; fishtail hem; tiered dresses.
