Embraced, highlighted, openworked or delicately clad in embroidered capes that flutter like butterfly wings, backs are revealed with a rare elegance. <\/p>\n<p>Sometimes evanescent, sometimes jewel-encrusted, embroidery clings to busts or spills in crystalline droplets down dresses. Customizing a speckled veil or an asymmetrical train, gems and crystals adorn princely outfits and lightly twirling tulle-stitched gowns.<br \/>\nVelvet is also a recurring, discreet guest: it belts the waist with a lightly lustrous ribbon, while luxurious details are applied to airy embroidery.<\/p>\n<p>A brilliant collection that plays with light and materials. Architecture inspires fashion with its precision and work on volumes. Like an angel, the Elie Saab woman dazzles us like a ray of sunshine.  <\/p>\n<p><object width=\"600\" height=\"450\"><param name=\"flashvars\" value=\"offsite=true&amp;lang=en-us&amp;page_show_url=%2Fphotos%2Fluxsureparis%2Fsets%2F72157627160816000%2Fshow%2F&amp;page_show_back_url=%2Fphotos%2Fluxsureparis%2Fsets%2F72157627160816000%2F&amp;set_id=72157627160816000&amp;jump_to=\"\/><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/apps\/slideshow\/show.swf?v=104087\"\/><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"\/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/apps\/slideshow\/show.swf?v=104087\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" flashvars=\"offsite=true&amp;lang=en-us&amp;page_show_url=%2Fphotos%2Fluxsureparis%2Fsets%2F72157627160816000%2Fshow%2F&amp;page_show_back_url=%2Fphotos%2Fluxsureparis%2Fsets%2F72157627160816000%2F&amp;set_id=72157627160816000&amp;jump_to=\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\"\/><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Urban Dream Vertiginously iridescent with sunlight, the city dresses its skyscrapers and facades in shimmering reflections: accentuating lines and bevels, glazed surfaces and metallic swirls, they compose an abstract, faceted&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[30432,52709],"tags":[30399,52716,30262,54345],"class_list":["post-2005382","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-fashion-week-en","category-thefashion","tag-elie-saab-en","tag-fashion-week","tag-sewing","tag-winter-2011"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2005382","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2005382"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2005382\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2005382"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2005382"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2005382"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
