Accessories made a big debut on the Elie Saab Paris fashion runway today. "Accessories are a big development for the house," commented Saab.

"I wanted to work with a different style of woman for this collection; A woman who works at home, a woman who vacations on a yacht, a woman who attends evening soirees. I didn't want to use too many muses this time," confided Saab after the show.
