Pièces de résistance: Way too many!
Philosophy Behind Collection: In what Elbaz termed as "new minimalism" the focus was more on new techniques of wrapping, tailoring and the use of innovative fabrics mostly man made that this could be the future of fashion. He realised his vision of minimalism by deliberately toning down the aesthetics of the collection which needs a closer inspection by a reasonably "fashion" conscious eye to appreciate the nuances of asymmetry, draping and embellishing embedded in his collection.
Targeted Buyers: "Real Women" - not too thin
High Points: JEWELLERY JEWELLERY JEWELLERY - worth a princess!
Low Points: Despite being Elbaz's finest collection till date, the clothes lacked a sense of aesthetics, these are not clothes that send you into a rapture at first glance, but rather pleases by their attention to detail!
