This is only Lebanese designer (and Halle Berry favorite) Elie Saab's fourth couture collection, but it's a doozy. Fantastical and beautiful and extravagant - you know, couture. In addition to swooning over several of the gowns, I found myself intrigued by the expressive models on parade. I thought to myself, 'If these models could talk, what a tale they'd have to tell...' Tales, couture, in a gallery beginning below.
