Haute couture week 2016 took a turn for the theatrical on Wednesday, with Maison Margiela, Franck Sorbier and Elie Saab opening the day's presentations in a rush of showmanship.
The mini-me concept was also picked up by Elie Saab, whose frothy couture creations were sent down the runway in pairs, with one version for the grown-ups and another for the kids. Gauzy off-the-shoulder gowns were embroidered with feathers and jewels, with the recurring bird motif underlying the flight of fancy reference point. The color palette was a fairytale-like combination of innocent nude shades and dark midnight blues, with gold accents running throughout -- though the dress embroidered with a city skyline ensured us that this was a very modern fable.
