Elie Saab Goes Down The Only Road He's Ever Known

Keeping a straight face about couture can be extremely troublesome. What looks like masterful performance from one designer can look like campy missteps. And then sometimes you can't tell. Elie Saab traditionally stays conservative with couture, creating gowns that function superbly for that rarefied couture consumer that requires a few compelling details grounded by simple construction that set her apart at only the most important state events. And while this particular collection didn't really stray from his core competency, your editors found ourselves drawing a few strange parallels.
"Everything is just so.....puffy. Big hair, big bows, big dresses"
"Yeah, its very Dynasty. No wait! Its Whitesnake!"
"Holy crap, the entire collection just reeks of 80s hair band. Take a look at this video for Here I Go Again On My Own."
"Gosh, that collection really evokes this video. Take a look at the red headed chick in the video and tell me she doesn't look familiar?. Heck, this dress was totally in the video.
"The chick is straddling the car, kicking her legs up on the air, she is practically masturbating on it. Its very you are SEXY. The cutaways to the girls in the video are very reminiscent of catwalk directions. Now walk that runway and STRUT. A gay casting director couldn't have gotten a better result."
"Yeah, It has no real purpose except for her to pretend at some sort of sexy performance."
"Huh, sort of like couture."
