Scandalacious! Sarah Mower Hated Elie Saab’s Fall Couture Show

How rude. And sort of right.

Here is her review from style.com:

Quite what thought process did Elie Saab go through in choosing to stage an all-white Couture show in the selfsame former Rue Cambon bank where Karl Lagerfeld put on his amazingly lyrical all-white show in January? Did he think the audience wouldn't notice?

She goes on to summarize her displeasure at seeing the Chanel rip offs:

Taken individually, and put into real-life social events, there'll be nothing egregious or at all embarrassing about any of these Saab creations. They'll look current, but more thanks to Chanel than Elie Saab.

I liked the show. But when I saw those girls in all white, in the same room that Papa K paraded an all white couture show earlier in the year, I also couldn’t help but think back to that Chanel collection.

With that said, let me take the time to defend Elie Saab.

Karl Lagerfeld did not invent white. You can't make one all white show someone's signature. There were only 3 or 4 peices from Saab’s collection that made me think of that Chanel collection, more specifically, the ones with the flowers.

What do you think? Do you think Sarah Mower is being a bit harsh?
