French Couture designer Rachel Elbaz showed her breathtaking new collection to her devoted fans and loyal clients in her smart Knightsbridge salon. 'At last an elegant and glamorous collection, immensely wearable, created for real women not ashamed to show their feminine curves!' was the general comment from a rapturous audience.
The show started with a selection of crisp, bright suits and ensembles – perfect for Royal Ascot Races and other formal occasions of the Summer Social Calendar.
This was followed by the Cocktail Hour Collection comprising smart LBDs, silky figure-hugging dresses - with asymmetrical sleeves, bright patterns and leopard prints dominating.
In the final part of the show the models swished down the catwalk in glamorous evening gowns perfect for red carpet events and glitzy balls. The show ended with two spectacular full length black and white gowns worn with large brim hats in the Mayfair Lady style and reminiscent of the glamour of the Edwardian era.
Rachel Elbaz is one of those few couture designers left who creates bespoke garments, with her own skilled team of cutters and machinists, in the atelier on her premises. She was trained in the prestigious couture house Balmain in Paris and established her elegant salon in Knightsbridge 16 years ago.
