elie saab, you never disappoint

Elie Saab is a designer that never fails to disappoint me. Ever since I discovered him as the designer behind the beautiful gowns in Enchanted, I've been in love with his runway shows. I always tend to visit his store in the outlets near me, looking at the impeccable pieces that are forever out of my price range in longing.

His spring couture collection is my favorite yet. Perhaps because the fludity of the gowns, the beauty of the details, and softness apparent in the hair and make-up all make me think of mermaids and the other fantasies the ocean tends to bring. The models themselves even look as though they're walking on water.

What if someone were to recreate The Little Mermaid in the similar style that Burton is recreating Alice in Wonderland? These gowns would mesh perfectly into Ariel's transformation into a human. I can just picture it now... a beautiful actress with bright auburn locks donning each of these gowns as she transforms into a princess. Not to mention a handsome actor like Tom Sturridge or Nicholas Hoult (or perhaps older?) portraying Prince Eric.Perhaps this would be her first dress? A pale buttery yellow gown would look lovely as she sits in the grand dining room for the first time, sun streaming through the huge windows, accidentally combing her hair with a fork.

And this gown would be lovely for the scene where they nearly kiss in the boat.
And this could be that beautiful, sparkling dress Ariel wears when she emerges from the ocean to finally reunite with Prince Eric with a kiss.

And though not traditionally white for a wedding gown, how beautiful would this dress be to wear at the end for her to prepare for her happily ever after?

Ah excuse the fantasizing, the Alice in Wonderland movie has gotten me imagining all kinds of Disney movies being "stylized" as such.
